| Reverse description | Central depiction of the ancient Egyptian Khufu Ship rendered in selective gold plating against a black nickel field, faithfully reproducing the iconic cedar-planked funerary vessel with its characteristic high prow and stern, multiple oars, and central deck structure. Two stylised Eyes of Horus appear in the field to the upper left and right of the vessel, flanking the design in an Egyptian hieroglyphic idiom. Three ankh symbols are displayed in gold along the lower field, referencing ancient Egyptian iconography. A beaded inner border ring and a reeded outer border frame the composition. The legend 'KHUFU SHIP' is inscribed in raised lettering along the upper rim. |
