1 oz Gold - 7 Wonders of the World: Lighthouse at Alexandria

This exceptional gold round, struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine gold, belongs to a series dedicated to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. With an extremely small release of only 77 pieces, this issue highlights one of history's most famous architectural achievements. The front of the round depicts the towering Lighthouse at Alexandria, a monumental structure constructed around 280 BC and finished in 247 BC. Its construction took place under the rule of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the sovereign whose likeness is captured on the reverse side. The back of the round also showcases the denomination of an ancient tetradrachm, linking the modern piece to classical currency. Essential details regarding the weight and the high purity of the metal are inscribed directly onto the edge of the round.
