Egypt 5 pounds God Khnum KM-809 Treasures Statue PR 67 PCGS silver coin 1994

The Egypt 5 Pounds 1994 silver commemorative coin celebrates Khnum, one of the most ancient and revered deities of Egyptian mythology. Certified PR67 by PCGS, this proof issue belongs to Egypt’s renowned “Treasures” series, which highlights iconic figures, gods, and artifacts from the civilization of the Nile. Khnum was worshipped as the creator god associated with the source of the Nile, fertility, and the shaping of life. Ancient Egyptians believed he fashioned humans on a potter’s wheel, making him a powerful symbol of creation and renewal.

The obverse presents a striking standing statue of Khnum rendered in high-relief detail. The deity is depicted with the distinctive ram’s head that symbolizes strength, fertility, and divine authority. He wears an elaborate headdress and ceremonial garments decorated with patterned textures, while holding a long staff as a sign of power. The polished proof field enhances the sculptural appearance of the figure, and an ornamental border frames the entire composition. The reverse features an elegant arrangement of inscriptions, denomination, and a large falcon with outstretched wings, an enduring emblem of protection, kingship, and divine guardianship in ancient Egypt. Above the falcon appears a stylized lotus motif together with decorative hieroglyphic-inspired elements, dates, and mint marks.

Khnum played a vital role in Egyptian religion for thousands of years and was especially honored at Elephantine near Aswan. This beautifully struck silver Proof coin combines mythology, archaeology, and ancient art in a single collectible piece. With its impressive PR67 PCGS certification, historical significance, and attractive design, it is an exceptional choice for collectors of Egyptian antiquities, mythology-themed coins, and world commemorative issues.
