The Egyptian Relic - Anubis
The silver investment coin issued by the Republic of Chad for 2021 and minted by the Scottsdale Mint in the finest 99.9% pure silver, weighing 5 Oz (155.52 g) with a hand-brushed antique finish, is part of The Egyptian Relic series. Anubis (Anup), protector of the dead, mummification and burial grounds, was chosen for the coin's motif.
The reverse of the coin depicts Anubis in traditional Ancient Egyptian form. The jackal's head is accompanied by hieroglyphs giving the name of the god. The background of the coin consists of a relief temple decoration.
Anubis (Anup) is one of the oldest Ancient Egyptian gods. As the protector of burial grounds and the dead, he was worshipped as early as the reign of the first dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs 5,000 years ago. His importance is confirmed by depictions in temples and tombs. Wall reliefs or statues depict him in the form of a jackal or a man with a jackal's head. Anubis was also the god of the hope of rebirth and the transition to the afterlife. He determined the embalming procedures that allowed the soul to return to its preserved body. Priests would put on a jackal's head during mummification to represent the presence of the god. In the Middle Kingdom period (2040-1786 BC), the role of ruler of the underworld passed to Osiris. Yet the cult of Anubis persisted into the Hellenistic period.
The obverse of the coin bears the national emblem of the Republic of Chad surrounded by the inscription 'REPUBLIQUE DU CHAD', the weight and fineness, the year of issue and the face value.
