2022 Solomon Islands $10 1-gm Gold Mask of Tutankhamun High Relief Proof-Like Coin
Celebrate The 100th Anniversary Of The Archeological Discovery Of The Century!
For more than 3,000 years, Egyptian Pharoah Tutankhamun lay undisturbed until on a late November day in 1922 when British archaeologist Howard Carter and his sponsor Lord Carnarvon entered the tomb of the “Boy Pharaoh.” There they discovered the tomb miraculously intact. The Egyptologists found thousands of artifacts, the most splendid of which was a stone sarcophagus containing three coffins nested within each other. Inside the final coffin, which was made out of solid gold, was Tutankhamun’s mummy upon which rest a magnificent life-size gold mask of “King Tut” himself. Today, the Mask of Tutankhamun is one of the world’s most recognizable works of art and arguably the most prominent symbol of ancient Egypt.
The Mask Of Tutankhamun In Life-Like High Relief Detail
To pay tribute to the 100th Anniversary of Carter’s discovery of King Tut’s tomb — the acknowledged archaeological discovery of the century — the Solomon Islands has released this remarkable mask-shaped coin that displays the Mask of Tutankhamun in life-like High Relief detail. Struck in a gram of highly pure 99.9% (24 karat) gold, it’s accurate down to every detail including the mask’s famous beard (which museum workers accidently broke in 2015) as well as the royal insignia atop the headpiece that features a cobra and a vulture.
Stunning Proof-Like Condition
This legal-tender $10 coin also comes in stunning Proof-Like (PL) condition with a higher-than-normal degree of reflectivity. A Proof-Like coin means that even though this coin wasn’t struck as a proof, its brilliant and reflective finish has earned it a “Proof-Like” designation. Plus, each coin will come beautifully housed in a black presentation box that has been branded with a 100th Anniversary logo.
