Pobjoy Mint is thrilled to announce the second coin in the brand new series issued on behalf of Sierra Leone commemorating 250 years since the birth of British Egyptologist Dr Thomas Young. The series will feature four Egyptian Gods with the second coin depicting the God Osiris.
 
Osiris was usually portrayed as a mummified man wearing a white cone-like headdress with feathers and with his arms crossed on his breast, one hand holding a crook, the other a flail.
 
The design features an image of the Egyptian God Osiris with his name in hieroglyphics appearing in a square. The design in the background features typical Egyptian decoration with hieroglyphics. The obverse of this coin features the Coat of Arms of Sierra Leone.
 
Osiris is the Egyptian Lord of the Underworld and Judge of the Dead, brother-husband to Isis, and one of the most important gods of ancient Egypt. As well as being a god of the dead, Osiris was a god of resurrection and fertility. In fact, the ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris gave them the gift of barley, one of their most important crops.
