Images and Symbols of Egyptian Gods on Ancient Coins
With its range of hawk-headed and half-mummified deities, the Egyptian pantheon has inspired devotion and intrigue for millennia. Egyptians were drawing, painting, and carving images of their gods well before the first pharaohs, over five thousand years ago.
While coined money was not a regular part of the Egyptian economy until the third century BCE, Egyptian religious symbols featured on even the earliest coins. The gods of
Egypt and their associated iconographies continued to be seen on the coins of Hellenistic kingdoms and throughout the
Roman Empire, until as late as the fourth century CE.
