Design & Liquidity
The "Egyptian God: Sobek" 2 oz silver round is the highly anticipated third release in Provident Metals' popular and limited-edition Egyptian Gods Series. The exquisite and detailed design was created by acclaimed medallic sculptor Heidi Wastweet, renowned for her ability to craft intricate, high-relief artwork that captures depth and contrast. The obverse prominently features the ancient Egyptian crocodile god, Sobek, depicted with crossed arms, holding a staff, and wearing an impressive headdress. Behind him, a contemporary rendering of the Nile River flows, with plants symbolizing fertility, and Egyptian hieroglyphs adorn the right side. The reverse showcases an iconic pyramid set against a wall filled with hieroglyphs. In the foreground, a table engraved with Nile River motifs of waves and fish is visible, topped by a crocodile, an earthly representation of Sobek. Inscriptions indicating "2 oz," "999," and "Ag" confirm its precious metal content and weight. Released in late 2017, this round's limited mintage of just 12,500 pieces, combined with its striking ultra high-relief artistry, enhances its collectibility and appeal within the secondary market.
