Franklin Mint Hatshepsut’s Punt Ship c. 1500 B.C. Silver Ingot – Great Sailing Ships of History First Edition Proof
This remarkable silver ingot from the Franklin Mint honors one of history’s earliest and most ambitious maritime trading expeditions: Queen Hatshepsut’s voyage to the land of Punt around 1500 B.C. Dispatched by the powerful Egyptian queen, these innovative Punt ships sailed the length of the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean, strengthened by rope supports for the bow and stern and by the groundbreaking use of beams extended through the sides of the hull. The obverse features a detailed high-relief depiction of the distinctive ancient Egyptian sailing vessel with its large sail, crew, and waves, while the reverse carries an informative text panel describing the expedition and its engineering innovations along with a small ship’s wheel motif. This “First Edition Proof” example was struck in sterling silver as part of the Franklin Mint’s “Great Sailing Ships of History” collector series and comes with its original descriptive card in protective packaging. It captures a pivotal moment in ancient maritime history—perfect for collectors of early civilizations, Franklin Mint enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates silver with a powerful story of exploration and innovation. Own a piece of 1500 B.C. history today.
