2022 Djibouti 200 Francs Tutankhamun 3oz. .999 Fine Silver Shaped Coin (No Tax). Includes original COA.

In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter and his team uncovered the mostly intact tomb of King Tutankhamun, a minor pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who had died very young and been buried in a rush. In spite of the pharaoh's relative anonymity, the magnitude of the discovery was unprecedented. Most royal tombs had been plundered in antiquity, but Tut's (as the occupant became known) had been hidden and, therefore, mostly untouched. Tut's tomb was a treasure trove in more ways than one -- there was gold, yes; but there was also a veritable wealth of knowledge to be had about Ancient Egypt, the pharaohs, their lives, their beliefs, their values, and their deaths. It remains the most complete royal tomb ever found, and continues to inform the field of Egyptology to this day.

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of one of the most thrilling discoveries in archaeological history with this stunning tribute to the discovery of King Tut's tomb. Shaped like the pharaoh's world-renowned burial mask, this 3oz. collectable coin is made of 99.99% silver and features a cutaway diagram of the intact tomb on the reverse. The coin comes in a unique magnetically sealed case shaped like the burial mask for easy and elegant display or storage. The original packaging is included, with COA.

Please note that the outer cardboard box is beginning to come apart at the seams.
