Eye of Ra
In the myth the Eye went away and only returned once wine, music and dance had calmed it; in this way the Egyptians explained the yearly journey of the sun to the south and back.

Gold and silver on the Nile
Hatshepsut, 1/1,000 ounce gold, obverse
Just 11 × 15.4 millimetres in size, with the coat of arms of Chad on the back.
In ancient Egypt
Flesh and bones of the gods
To the Egyptians, gold and silver were more than metal: they could stand for the flesh and the bones of the gods, for the sun and the moon.
Gold was linked with the gods and the deified dead because it lasts; silver, for its pale colour, with the moon and with ritual purity.
In the land of the pharaohs
Five faces of ancient Egypt
Hatshepsut ruled first as regent, then as co-ruler beside Thutmose III, according to the Metropolitan Museum around 1479 to 1458 BC. She renewed trade with western Asia, the distant land of Punt and the islands of the Aegean.
Four faces from the series of Chad appear in this world: Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut and Ramesses II.
The fifth face of this world, Tutankhamun, appears on the coins of the Perth Mint and the bars from Liberia. His tomb was found largely intact.

The map of the gold mines
Around 1150 BC a map of the Wadi Hammamat was made for a quarrying expedition of Ramesses IV, one of the earliest known maps. According to the geologist James Harrell, it bears labels such as “hills where gold is found” and “hills of gold and silver”.
It is regarded as the oldest known geological map; the next known one only appears in the sources some 29 centuries later.
Silver and the moon
For long, silver was worth more than gold
Temple inscriptions from much of Egypt’s history point to this.
Giza · wonder of the ancient world
Built for eternity
The Pyramid of Khufu is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Its ancient name was Akhet Khufu, “the Horizon of Khufu”.
Signs of the Nile
What the signs meant
The same signs return on the pieces of this world. This is how major museums describe their meaning in ancient Egypt.
Wedjat eye
“Wedjat” means “the one that is sound”: in the myth Seth injured or stole the eye of Horus, and Thoth restored it.

Scarab
Scarabs with the name and title of their owner often served as seals: their underside was pressed into a lump of clay.

Ankh
As a hieroglyph the ankh wrote the words “live” and “life”; as a symbol it stood for life.
On a pyramid from Djibouti

Gold Hatshepsut Coin 1/1,000 oz – Investment Gold in Miniature Format
Small in format, clear in substance: The Gold Hatshepsut Coin from the 2024 minting year combines a portrait of one of the most powerful female rulers of Ancient Egypt with pure fine gold. Its value is based primarily on the precious metal it contains and moves in line with the gold price – the design is the personal touch, the fine gold the actual reason to buy.
- Design: expressive depiction of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut wearing the royal Nemes headdress; the obverse references the famous statue of the ruler.
- Material / Fineness: struck from 999/1,000 fine gold – that is, nearly pure gold – with a fine weight of 0.031 g, or exactly 1/1,000 of an ounce.
- Manufacturer: produced by Valcambi, one of the world's most respected refineries and minting partners for precision products.
- Issuing country & face value: official legal tender of the Republic of Chad with a face value of 3,000 CFA francs.
- Mintage & condition: limited worldwide to 50,000 pieces, Brilliant Uncirculated new stock, securely packaged in a blister card.
A Portrait of Power – Captured in Pure Fine Gold
Hatshepsut reigned in the 15th century BC and remains to this day one of the most significant female figures in world history. This gold coin issue from the "History" series creates a lasting monument to her: the design side shows her finely detailed portrait, flanked by hieroglyphs, which are also echoed on the accompanying blister card. Despite the compact format, the visual effect is remarkably three-dimensional.
The reverse bears the national emblem of the Republic of Chad with its characteristic lion and ibex. Around the edge you will find the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" for the issuing country, the face value "3000 FRANCS CFA", and the fineness indication "999/1000 FINE GOLD". As official legal tender, this gold coin thus carries legal tender status – however, its true value lies in the precious metal itself.
Why Gold Is the Substance Behind This Issue
Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has served as a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It possesses an intrinsic, globally recognized value, has historically never fallen to zero, and can be traded and sold around the globe. It is not without reason that central banks worldwide hold enormous gold reserves – a clear sign of the metal's limited supply and long-term stability. As a physical tangible asset, gold is also regarded as a classic inflation hedge and, in uncertain times, as a reliable form of crisis protection against loss of purchasing power and currency risks.
Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune – those who regularly buy manageable units build substance without overextending themselves.
Who This Gold Coin Is Suited For
The Gold Hatshepsut Coin is an ideal entry point into physical gold investment – the fine denomination of 1/1,000 ounce makes investment gold accessible even on a small budget. It also makes for a genuine investment gift: whether for a birthday or another personal occasion, what is given is an asset made of pure fine gold, not a mere souvenir. Despite the historical design, what you are acquiring here is fully-fledged investment gold whose value tracks the gold price.
- Value preservation: physical fine gold as a proven, durable tangible asset.
- Building wealth in small steps: an affordable entry thanks to the miniature denomination.
- Tradability at any time: gold is highly liquid and in demand worldwide.
- Tax advantage: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.
With a mintage limited to 50,000 pieces, the renowned manufacturer Valcambi, and the high fineness of 999/1,000, this issue combines Egyptian history with the timeless value stability of gold – a small building block for your long-term wealth accumulation.
