2017 ERS Ramesses II 2 oz Silver Coin

Add an ancient Egyptian-inspired collectible to your collection with the 2017 ERS Ramesses II 2 oz Silver Coin. Part of Scottsdale Mint’s Egyptian Relic Series, this silver coin features a detailed portrait of Ramesses II, one of the most famous pharaohs of ancient Egypt, presented in a weathered relic-style design.

Struck from 2 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, this Republic of Chad legal tender coin combines historical imagery, textured engraving, and meaningful ancient-world symbolism in a substantial silver format.

Ramesses II Portrait Design

The main design side features a front-facing portrait of Ramesses II wearing traditional Egyptian royal headwear. Imagine the face of a pharaoh carved into an ancient stone wall, with calm eyes, a straight nose, and a composed expression that conveys authority and permanence.

The headdress frames the portrait on both sides, falling down around the face in broad patterned panels. Fine engraved lines give the headwear texture, while the central ornament at the forehead adds a ceremonial royal detail. The long false beard below the chin reinforces the pharaoh’s status and connects the portrait to classic Egyptian royal imagery.

Behind Ramesses II, the background resembles aged stone blocks or a temple wall. The surface is filled with rough texture, carved-looking marks, and subtle ancient symbols, giving the coin the appearance of an artifact recovered from antiquity. The name “RAMESSES II” appears above the portrait, arched across the upper portion of the design.

Egyptian Relic Series Style

The Egyptian Relic Series is designed to feel like a tangible fragment of ancient history. This Ramesses II release uses an antiqued, weathered appearance to create the impression of carved stone, temple reliefs, and archaeological discovery.

The design emphasizes depth and texture rather than a smooth modern look. Raised details stand out against darker recessed areas, allowing the face, headdress, beard, and background markings to feel dimensional and historic. The result is a coin that feels less like a standard silver round and more like a miniature Egyptian relic.

Republic of Chad Legal Tender Obverse

The opposite side features the Republic of Chad legal tender design. At the center is a formal inscription area surrounded by hieroglyphic-style patterning and textured details that continue the ancient Egyptian theme.

The obverse identifies the issuing country, Republic of Chad, along with the coin’s denomination, year, and silver content. This side gives the coin its official legal tender status while maintaining the same aged, artifact-like appearance as the Ramesses II portrait side.

2 oz Silver Collectible Release

With its 2 troy ounce silver format, the 2017 ERS Ramesses II Silver Coin offers a substantial feel in hand and gives the artwork more room to stand out. The larger size helps highlight the engraved facial features, royal headwear, temple-like background, and textured finish.

This release is well suited for collectors of ancient Egyptian themes, Scottsdale Mint specialty coins, Republic of Chad legal tender issues, and silver pieces with strong historical character.
