Coin description
The coin’s reverse depicts Nefertiti’s appearance in a silhouette-shaped way you have never seen before. It has the same appearance as her bust, which is kept in the Neues Museum in Berlin.
The obverse side of the coin depicts the standard Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau with the inscriptions: “REPUBLIC OF PALAU” (the issuing country), “20$” (the face value), “NEFERNEFERUATEN NEFERTITI” (the name of the coin) and “2019” (the year of issue).
Background information
Nefertiti was the Queen of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. She reigned as a great royal lady alongside Akhenaten, the pharaoh who ruled Egypt at the beginning of the New Kingdom (1352 B.C. – 1338 B.C.) during the Amarna period. Her name Nefertiti means ‘the beautiful has come’. Nefertiti owes much of her fame to her bust, preserved today in the Neues Museum in Berlin. The parentage of Nefertiti has not been established with certainty. One hypothesis says that she would have been the daughter of Ay, who would have reigned as pharaoh for four years after Tutankhamun but previously held various high positions with his predecessors. Some say he was a brother or half-brother of Teje, the Great Royal Lady in Egypt’s 18th Dynasty on the side of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
