Beschrijving keerzijde A highly detailed, finely engraved frontal view of the interior hypostyle hall of the Temple of Khonsu at Karnak, depicting the monumental colonnade of massive decorated columns adorned with hieroglyphic reliefs and standing royal figures. The perspective draws the eye through successive doorways receding toward the sanctuary in the background, conveying the temple's architectural depth. The columns to either side bear richly detailed carved scenes of pharaonic figures and deities in the characteristic ancient Egyptian relief style. The field is otherwise plain, with no inscriptions or legends on the reverse.

Aanvullende informatie

The Khonsu temple at Karnak, built largely under Ramesses III and completed by his successors, was one of the better-preserved New Kingdom structures still standing when Egypt launched its archaeological monument coin series in the early 1990s. The series was part of a broader push by the Egyptian government to generate hard currency through collector-focused commemoratives during a period of economic restructuring following IMF negotiations in 1991.
