Transport yourself to a pivotal moment in history as we commemorate the remarkable centenary of one of the most extraordinary archaeological discoveries to date. In November 1922, Howard Carter, the determined archaeologist, gazed into the abyss of Egypt's Valley of the Kings, his candle illuminating the hidden tomb of the ancient pharaoh Tutankhamun. This awe-inspiring encounter revealed a trove of glittering treasures that had lay untouched for over 3,000 years, captivating the world and igniting a profound fascination with the mysteries of Egyptian history.
To honor this momentous milestone, we present a meticulously crafted coin that pays tribute to this extraordinary find. Created by Laura Clancy, an esteemed product designer at The Royal Mint, the reverse of the coin portrays the iconic profile of Tutankhamun's golden mask, an enduring symbol of the pharaoh's grandeur and legacy.
Immerse yourself in the mystique and splendor of ancient Egypt as you hold this beautifully designed coin in your hands, a tangible connection to a bygone era. Join us in celebrating the enduring significance of Tutankhamun's legacy and the profound impact it has had on our understanding of history.
