Obverse

On the obverse of the Monarch Egyptian Scarab Gold Rounds is a detailed depiction of the winged scarab beetle holding the Eye of Ra. The Eye of Ra, often shown with a cobra surrounding a sun disk, symbolized Ras power and protection. It was seen as a guardian against evil and a source of divine energy and life.

Reverse

The reverse features the Ankh, also known as the “key of life,” alongside the hieroglyph for gold. The Ankh is one of ancient Egypts most enduring symbols, representing eternal life and the balance between male and female divine forces. This symbol frequently appeared in temple carvings, jewelry, and royal insignias, later influencing religious art and traditions.

History

The ancient Egyptians connected the scarab beetle with themes of regeneration and creation. They observed how the beetle buried its dung ball in the sand, from which new beetles seemed to emerge. This connection made scarab amulets highly popular for protection and blessings. These amulets, often inscribed with hieroglyphs, were crafted from materials like gold and semi-precious stones and used by both the living and the deceased.
