Obverse

The obverse face of the 1/2 oz Silver Egyptian Cat Goddess Bastet Round comes with a right-profile depiction of Bastet in her human form. A feminine symbol is depicted behind her back in the design field, while the hieroglyphs that spell out her name are featured in front of her figure. Her human figure has the head of a cat with a sun disc above her head and a long spear and scepter in her left hand.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 1/2 oz Silver Egyptian Cat Goddess Bastet Round, you will find the image of a cat. The cat is the animal form Bastet was believed to take and represented her gentler side during the later Egyptian dynasties.

History

Bastet was one of the earliest Ancient Egyptian goddesses worshiped in the kingdom. The people of Bubastis in Lower Egypt worshiped her as early as 2890 BCE in the form of a lioness goddess. This role was shared with another deity, but later dynasties separated the two. The lioness goddess came to represent a powerful warrior and protector, while Bastet as the cat offered a gentler aspect and became associated with love, healing, joy, motherhood, and family.

Ordering

These 1/2 oz Silver Egyptian Cat Goddess Bastet Rounds feature an antique patina and anti-polish that create brushed visuals similar to an ancient coin. Monarch Precious Metals produces each one using hand-struck, off-center designs that ensure each one is different from the next.
