Egypt 5 onza History of Ancient Egypt series Cleopathra proof silver medal 1987

This remarkable Egypt 5 onza silver proof medal issued in 1987 is dedicated to Cleopatra, one of the most iconic rulers of Ancient Egypt, representing beauty, intelligence, and political power. Part of the prestigious “History of Ancient Egypt” series, this piece captures the spirit of a legendary эпоха and its timeless symbolism.

The obverse presents a refined left-facing portrait of Cleopatra, rendered in classical Egyptian style. She wears an elaborate headdress featuring a raised cobra (uraeus), symbolizing royal authority and divine protection. Her hair is arranged in long, textured braids flowing over her shoulders, while fine details of jewelry and garment patterns enhance the depth. The mirrored background contrasts beautifully with the relief, framed by a geometric ornamental border.

The reverse depicts a powerful winged falcon with outstretched wings and a solar disk above its head, an ancient symbol of divine strength and protection. Beneath the wings are small decorative elements reminiscent of hieroglyphs. Surrounding inscriptions include “A.R.E.”, Arabic script, the date 1987, and “FIVE TROY OUNCES .999 FINE SILVER,” all carefully balanced across the field.

Cleopatra VII, the last ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, played a crucial role in history through her alliances and influence in Roman politics. Struck in .999 fine silver with a proof finish, this medal is a stunning collectible combining historical depth and artistic excellence.
