Obverse

Sekhmet is depicted on the obverse of 2 oz Silver Egyptian Gods Sekhmet Rounds in her human form. Most human-like depictions of Sekhmet in Ancient Egypt consisted of a female form with the head of a cat or lioness. Her seated figure is shown with a bloodied blade held behind her back, a symbol of her status as the slayer of the enemies of the sun god, Ra. Hieroglyphs on this field of the round identify her name in Egyptian symbolism.

Reverse

The animal figure of Sekhmet is shown on the 2 oz Silver Egyptian Gods Sekhmet Rounds. As an animal, she is often shown as either a lioness or a cat. In this particular design, she is showcased as a cat seated on an altar in front of a pyramid. The lone set of inscriptions on this face of the round include 2 OZ, 999, AG.

History

Sekhmet is the sixth deity from Ancient Egypt to feature in the Egyptian Gods Series. Her name is alternatively spelled as Sakhmet and she is the goddess of war. She was known as a companion god to Ptah and was worshipped in the Egyptian city of Memphis.
