Gsb Canada is thrilled to announce the release of the fourth & final coin in the brand new coin series issued on behalf of Sierra Leone commemorating 250 years since the birth of British Egyptologist Dr Thomas Young. The series features four Egyptian Gods with the fourth coin depicting the God Anubis.
 
Anubis was an extremely ancient deity whose name appears in the oldest mastabas of the Old Kingdom and the Pyramid Texts as a guardian and protector of the dead.
 
The design features an image of the Egyptian God Anubis with his name in hieroglyphics appearing in a triangle. The design in the background features typical Egyptian decoration with hieroglyphics along with a set of scales. The obverse of this coin features the Coat of Arms of Sierra Leone.
 
Anubis was originally a god of the underworld, but became associated specifically with the embalming process and funeral rites. The ancient Egyptians believed that the preservation of the body and the use of sweet-smelling herbs and plants would help the deceased because Anubis would sniff the mummy and only let the pure move on to paradise. Anubis is usually depicted as a canine deity or the figure of a man with a jackal head.
