TUTANKHAMUN Egypt Pharaoh Silver Palladium Gold Red Carnelian Gemstone Coin 2 Oz $50 Fiji 2012

A numismatic masterpiece, made with two ounces of pure 999 silver, 24 carat gilded Gold , ennobled with and enriched with a red carnelian gemstone considered to be the stone of the life by Egyptians!

Extremely limited mintage of just 999 pieces worldwide!

The coin is issued by the Republic of Fiji and honors the history of Tutankhamun! Second of "Egyptian Jewels" 10 coin series.

Tutankhamun (sometimes called King Tut) was a Pharaoh (like a king) of Ancient Egypt from about 1334 BC to 1323 BC. He became Pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (royal family) during the New Kingdom at 9 years old. Tutankhamun ruled only 9 years and died very young, at 18, so he is known as The Boy King. He was married to his half-sister Ankhesenamun, daughter of Queen Nefertiti,his step mother.

Some scientists and historians think Tutankhamun was killed by someone else. When his mummy was examined by a CAT scan in January 2005, a very bad break in the leg was found. This may have been from a riding accident. Most scientists now think that Tutankhamun died because his broken leg got infected. Others believe that his vizier, Ay, murdered him, because Ay also succeeded him as Pharaoh. Because of this, Tut was buried in Ay's tomb and Ay in his. Other sources say that he had died from a sickness.

The tomb was discovered in March 1922 by the famous British archaeologist Howard Carter.

Egyptian Jewels

The use of gemstones in Egyptian art has a several thousand year old tradition.

Pharaohs and noble people adorned themselves with gold as well liked and respected dignitaries women. Tombs and funerary masks were richly decorated and the deceased were placed with rich treasures to the afterlife.

The whole art of Egyptian jewelers can be found on these coins again. The most famous pharaohs and gods are beautiful minted in high relief 2 ounces of pure silver, embellished with gold and palladium, a high-quality padprinting and a cartouche with an inlaid genuine gemstone, which is printed with the name in hieroglyphics in 24 carat gold.

Britannia; An Enduring Icon of Britain

The figure of a woman, called Britannia, has long been a symbol of British national pride. She first appeared on British coins in the seventeenth century and has subsequently graced the coinage of every monarch to the present day.

She made her debut on the coins of the Romans and has, from Tudor times, beautifully symbolized an empire based on maritime power. Great and free, she has fascinated artists and sculptors throughout her history and remains a favourite icon for British stamps, medals and coins.

In 1696 the Britannia standard of silver was introduced as part of the recoinage of William III in an attempt to limit the clipping and melting of sterling silver coins, it being reasoned that there would be little incentive to melt sterling silver when a higher standard was used for wrought plate.

By the time the Queen came to the throne in 1952, Britannia had assumed the status of an immortal, having featured on British coinage for almost 300 years. In 1987 she was elevated to the new gold bullion coinage and today appears on the highest value coins of the realm. The silver version was launched during 1997.

ARABIC DANCE - Magic Of The Dance Belly Silver Coin Belarus 2011

First coin of the series "Magic of the Dance" dedicated to the dances from different regions of the world. Issued by the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus and it honors Arabic Belly Dance, one of the oldest dances in the world!

The Arabic Dance

Arabic Belly Dance is one of the oldest dances in the world that combines elements and techniques of different countries in the Middle East and North Africa, although their precise origins have primary origin as ancient Egypt.

There are historical documents that prove that this sensual dance was used by the priestesses of the banks of the River Nile.

In Arabic countries this dance is called Raks Sharki that literally means Oriental Dance.

The name of the belly dance is beginning to be used in the nineteenth century by Europeans who travelled to exotic lands in search of new cultures, customs and landscapes. These travellers coined this term caught up in the belly and hip movements that did not exist in European dances. We have to distinguish between Raks Sharki (Oriental dance) and Raks Baladi (Dance of the People).

The Raks baladi dance is a more elemental, almost without movement, and predominant hip movements. Raks Sharki is the most refined and rich. It includes movements of Egyptian folklore, classical ballet and contemporary dance, with large movements, revolutions and movements for all parts of the body, although the hip ones are the most important.

Ladybug

Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (UK, Ireland, Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Malta, some parts of Canada and the US), or ladybugs (North America). Scientists increasingly prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as these insects are not true bugs.

Lesser-used names include ladyclock, lady cow, and lady fly. Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. A very large number of coccinellid species are mostly, or entirely, black, grey, or brown and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids.

Conversely, there are many small beetles that are easily mistaken for coccinellids, such as the tortoise beetles. Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species described, more than 450 native to North America alone. A few species are considered pests in North America and Europe, but they are generally considered useful insects as many species feed on aphids or scale insects, which are pests in gardens, agricultural fields, orchards, and similar places. Harmonia axyridis (or the Harlequin ladybug) was introduced into North America from Asia in 1988 to control aphids but is now the most common species as it is out-competing many of the native species. A common myth is that the number of spots on the insect's back indicates its age.

Tulip
The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa, which comprises 109 species. Tulips are spring-blooming perennials that grow from bulbs. The tulip's large flowers usually bloom on scapes or subscapose[further explanation needed] stems that lack bracts. Most tulips produce only one flower per stem, but a few species bear multiple flowers on their scapes. The showy, generally cup- or star-shaped tulip flower has three petals and three sepals, which are often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. These six tepals are often marked near the bases with darker colorings. Tulip flowers come in a wide variety of colors, except pure blue (several tulips with "blue" in the name have a faint violet hue).

Tulip stems have few leaves, with larger species tending to have multiple leaves. Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12. The tulip's leaf is strap-shaped, with a waxy coating, and leaves are alternately arranged on the stem. These fleshy blades are often bluish green in color. Although tulips are often associated with The Netherlands, commercial cultivation of the flower began in the Ottoman Empire.

The tulip, or lale as it is also called in Iran and Turkey, is a flower indigenous to a vast area encompassing arid parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. The word tulip, which earlier appeared in English in forms such as tulipa or tulipant, entered the language by way of French tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulipa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend ("muslin" or "gauze"), and is ultimately derived from Persian dulband ("turban").

2012 Fiji Apocalipse Silver Coin $10 Legal Tender

Apocalypse 2012 - SOLD OUT!

The Maya Calendar is the best known of all prophecies. It describes exactly the days of our present fourth period, from 11 August 3114 BC to 21 December 2012′s. The 21st December 2012 after the Mayan Long Count Calendar is the end of human civilization.

On December 21, 2012 happens the so-called “galactic alignment”, where the sun, the moon and all the other planets in our solar system are located perfectly on a line with respect to the center of our galaxy. This  event is held only every 26,000 years and is very unique.

What physical and energetic effects it will have on the earth, is still enigmatic. Many consider 2012 as the beginning of a “New Consciousness”, the beginning of a new, more conscious of this age to the present transition period of dramatic transformations.
