Sobek 2oz Ultra High Relief

in steemsilvergold •  6 years ago 

This is the 3rd coin of my current favorite series "The Egyptian Gods". This series has such amazing detail. The Ultra High Relief coins look like they are coming right out of the coin. Let's take a look at some of the info and pics of this beauty.

Sobek

The obverse of this coin features Sobek, the Egyptian crocodile god. Known as Lord of the Waters, Sobek is the god of strength, power, and fertility. A contemporary view of the Nile river is shown with palms growing from the soil to symbolize fertility.

Reverse

The reverse of the coin shows a pyramid that stands in front of a wall filled with hieroglyphs. it also features a crocodile perched atop a table, an earthly representation of Sobek. At the bottom you can see the weight, purity and symbol for Silver.

A few close ups

Now for my favorite part.....loop pics. These show how beautifully detailed the coins are. It's hard to get the depth of the strike to pop out, but this is about as close as I can get.

Cool! I like this one a lot. the scales on Sobek really stand out in the last pic.

The detail is just awesome on this whole series. Thanks for checking it out @cyber.explorer.

Looking at the third photo you have the impression that the crocodile is ready to jump...Beautifuly detailed!

Love the series, just don’t like the crazy premium with them. Awesome round👍

Yeah they are a little on the pricey side, but my love for Egyptian stuff forced me to buy it. The 4th coin in the series will be on here soon @silverd510.

Thanks @steemitboard for the update.

This is a sweet round! So much detail!

I wish they would say how many will be in the series. These coins are even cooler in person.

AWESOME, awesome 2 oz round! Just beautiful. It is so worth collecting these. Beautifully struck silver rounds!

They are some great rounds. I can't wait to see what the 5th coin in the series will be. Thanks for stopping by @silversaver888.

I always liked these rounds, but could never bite off the premium. I always hope to find them in a LCS for a steal!!

Sometimes you gotta pay a little extra but I don't mind with these. The quality of them is amazing. Thanks for checking it out @senstless.
