The obverse features the Egyptian crocodile god, Sobek, standing with crossed arms. He carries a staff and wears a headdress. A contemporary rendering of the Nile River flows behind him, with plants growing from the soil to symbolize fertility. A series of hieroglyphs can be seen on the right side.
An iconic pyramid stands on the reverse in front of a wall filled with hieroglyphs. In front of the structure rests a table containing Nile River motifs of waves and fish. A crocodile perches atop the table, an earthly representation of Sobek. Inscriptions include “2 oz,” “999,” and “Ag.”
Sobek is the highly anticipated third release in the limited edition Egyptian Gods series of 2 oz ultra high relief silver rounds, following Cleopatra and Anubis. Each round in this series showcases a detailed sculpt of the featured god or goddess on the obverse, along with a pyramid and thematic devices on the reverse.
Known as Lord of the Waters, Sobek is the god of strength, power, and fertility. Sobek has a protective instinct and he guarded the pharaoh, the Egyptian people, and the army. In fact, mummified crocodiles have been found in numerous tombs guarding the humans who were laid to rest there.
Individual Sobek rounds will ship in new condition in plastic flips. Quantities of 10 will ship in plastic tubes. Add a 2 oz High Relief Plastic Capsule to your order for more protection.

Bought this and the Khnum round at the same time. This round is far and away my favorite. The level of detail they've achieved with these rounds is phenomenal, and Provident shipped quickly. I can't wait to see the next release. Highly recommend."

Such a great coin great detail. Different design. Nice addition to any collection

Tremendous details and who doesn’t like crocs. Egyptian designs are always a hit with me. Great job.
"
Great coin Detail is AMAZING!
"
Since my last name is Sobek, I had to have this silver round! Will be getting more to give to other family members. It’s a beautiful coin.
"
Great silver rounds ordered three, wish I would of ordered ten. Best series of rounds so far. Can’t wait for the rest of series. I will be ordering the ms70 as soon as they are available!

Just got 3 of the Sobek. The artwork is very appealing with great detail and yet places of well designed simplicity. It is graphically strong with a meticulously plotted marriage of incuse and high relief levels. It is easy to spot a personal preference flaw on something so near perfection. I thought the crocodile on the back was a little to shortened in the body, but the graphic strength is so attractive who cares. This is my favorite piece of owned silver. I also bought four of the Anubis, and will buy more in this series if your artist/designer/sculpter continues producing such great work!

This 3rd release of the Egyptian gods series is minted by a different mint…and Sunshine Minting has done an exceptional job!
Kudos on this 3rd, 2oz. silver round. Get at least 1, it will be worth it.

My Sobek came in! Really excited to have this one added to my collection. Egyptian series is turning out to be my favorite!
"
Compared to Anubis and Cleopatra, Sobek coin is a step above in both design and strike quality. The strike is perfect. Both of the Anubis and Cleopatra I have are unevenly struck, as seen on their rims. I definitely get more Sobek rounds if they are on sale.
"
These just like all the rest in this series are amazing! It is my favorite series by far. I wish I could afford to buy more than 2 these. You won’t be sorry owning these.
"
Very beautiful and detailed coin. Can’t wait for more in the series. Definitely recommend getting some of these.
"
The detail put into the design is beyond beautiful in this round. Definitely worth the investment.
