and continuing with the Egyptian theme, the British Virgin Islands Government has approved
the release of a new Ultra High Relief commemorative coin featuring this amazing monument.
To replicate the Sphinx’s towering height, this ultra high relief coin creates
a three-dimensional image that rises majestically above the coin’s surface.
Available as a 1oz Fine Silver, the obverse of the coin features an effigy of
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS.
Each coin is detailed to perfection and struck to the highest quality.
Making this beautiful coin the perfect gift or a great addition to any coin
collection, it is presented in a beautiful triangular shaped gold box
reminiscent of the pyramids which surround the monument.
Built more than 4,500 years ago, the Great Sphinx is now one of the best-known symbols
of Egypt, yet nobody knows its true meaning or what ancient secrets it might hold.
The limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with a lion’s body
and a human head, stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in
Giza, Egypt.  It is the largest monolith statue in the world, standing 20.22 meters
high and 73.5 meters long and it is also the oldest known monumental sculpture,
commonly believed to have been built by the ancient Egyptians during
the reign of the Pharaoh Khafra (around 2558-2532 BC).
The Sphinx has been a symbol of Egypt from ancient times to the present.
It has inspired the imaginations of artists, poets, adventurers, scholars and travelers for
centuries and has also inspired endless speculation about its age and meaning.
Don't miss out on your chance to own this incredible collector's coin
today - with just 1,999 coins struck, this beautiful ultra high relief
Sphinx is guaranteed to be a best-seller.
