2022 Cook Islands $5 1-oz Silver X-Ray Mummy Ultra High Relief Colorized Gem Proof

Ancient Egypt Makes Its Presence Felt On This One-Of-A-Kind Modern Coin

A century ago in 1922, British Egyptologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon announced the archeological find of the century: The Discovery King Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of Kings! While a largely debunked “curse” famously descended on members of the expedition, the world marveled at the boy king’s sarcophagus, golden death mask, and, of course, the mummified remains of a young man who ruled Egypt 1,300 years before Jesus Christ walked the earth. An X-Ray of the tragic king who died when he was either 18 or 19 showed that Tut was afflicted with a physically deformed left foot and suffered from bone necrosis, scoliosis, and had contracted several strains of malaria. The X-Rays also prompted best-selling mystery author James Patterson to allege that King Tut was murdered. Now, on the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, you can decide for yourself whether the young pharaoh was killed in a power grab or was the hapless victim of his many health issues on this one-of-a-kind coin release that’s as exquisite as it is historic.

Ultra High Relief and Colorization Techniques Enhance Historic Design

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this mind-bending coin combines the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb with Modern X-Ray technology. King Tut’s sarcophagus is shown on the coin’s reverse, while a colorized X-Ray image of Tut’s wrapped and mummified body is featured on the coin’s obverse along with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The colorized X-Ray illuminates the design in spectacular fashion. Enhancing the mummy even further is the added element of Coin Invest Trust’s (CIT) sublime use of its Smartminting® technology to produce fantastic Ultra High Relief detail. The startling X-Ray of the famous “Boy King” looks like evidence in the modern search for clues into whether Tut died from natural causes, an accident… or was murdered!
