Obverse
The obverse of 5 oz Argentia Egyptian Cat Silver Bars features the identifying hallmarks and brand logo. The logo consists of a stylized triangle with the word ARGENTIA inscribed below it. The hallmarks read 5 OZ FINE SILVER .9999. You will also notice in the background a beautiful decorative pattern made up of symmetrical lines and circles.
Reverse
On the reverse side of these Antique Argentia Silver Bars you will find an Egyptian cat design. Here, the cat is shown in a sitting position, facing to the right. Her body is covered in beautiful decorative patterns like you might find in an ancient tomb. There is also an elegant background pattern that contrasts nicely with the feline artwork.
History
Ancient Egyptians believed cats were semi-deities with auspicious qualities. The death of a cat was also an occasion of intense mourning for Egyptians. According to the scholar Herodotus, some would even shave their eyebrows and continue the grieving period until the hair grew back. It was also not uncommon for cats to be mummified and then offered up at the sanctuary of the goddess Bastet.
