RE Presenting the Ankh to Sesostris I.
Script: Hieroglyphic
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 50 Pounds (King Sesostris I) 1415 (1994) from Egypt made of Gold (.900) weighing 8.5 g is that it features an image of King Sesostris I, also known as Senusret I, who was a pharaoh of Egypt during the 12th dynasty and ruled from 1971 to 1926 BC. He is considered one of the most important pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom period and is known for his military campaigns and architectural achievements. The coin's design is based on a relief found in the temple of Karnak, which depicts the king wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian history.
