Sky god
Since Horus was said to be the sky, he was considered to also contain the sun and moon. It became said that the sun was his right eye and the moon his left, and that they traversed the sky when he, a falcon, flew across it. Later, the reason that the moon was not as bright as the sun was explained by a tale, known as The Contendings of Horus and Seth. In this tale, it was said that Set, the patron of Upper Egypt, and Horus, the patron of Lower Egypt, had battled for Egypt brutally, with neither side victorious, until eventually the gods sided with Horus.
As Horus was the ultimate victor he became known as "Horus the Great", but more usually translated "Horus the Elder". In the struggle, Seth had lost a testicle, explaining why the desert, which Seth represented, is infertile. Horus' left eye had also been gouged out, then a new eye was created by part of Khonsu, the moon god, and was replaced.

Another great product from the Scottsdale mint and APMEX. The image of Horus looks like it came right off of a wall from an ancient Egyptian tomb. This 2 ounce silver coin is a great compliment to the 5 ounce King Tut silver coin.

Only reason I gave four stars is the back of the coin doesn't seem to belong with the front design. I still love it and would recommend.
