The Stone of Rosetta geocoin is 1.5 ” in diameter (approx. 38mm) and is 3 mm thick. The Stone of Rosetta geocoin was minted in antique silver, antique gold, antique copper, and XLE as a silver / gold two-tone. It was produced and distributed by the Geocoinshop in December 2007.
The Stone of Rosetta geocoin depicts a group of experts inspecting the stone during a Congress of Orientalists in 1874. On the back of the stone is a simplified representation of the original decree in three languages.
The actual Rosetta Stone contains carved text with three translations of a single passage: two in Egyptian language scripts (hieroglyphic and Demotic) and one in classical Greek. It was created in 196 BC, discovered by the French in 1799 at Rosetta and contributed greatly to the deciphering of the principles of hieroglyph writing. The text on the stone is a decree from Ptolemy V, describing the repeal of various taxes and instructions to erect statues in temples.
The Stone of Rosetta geocoin designed page can be found here with the original history of the coin, however, it’s in German.
