2022 Tutankhamun's Tomb 100th Anniversary £5 Silver Proof – Royal Mint Boxed COA 0275

2022 Tutankhamun's Tomb – 100th Anniversary £5 Silver Proof Coin

Celebrate one of archaeology’s greatest discoveries with this exceptional 2022 Royal Mint £5 Silver Proof Coin, issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.

In November 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter opened the tomb of the young Egyptian pharaoh in the Valley of the Kings. A century later, The Royal Mint commemorated this landmark moment with an intricate reverse depicting the instantly recognisable golden funerary mask of Tutankhamun, designed by Laura Clancy.

Struck in .925 sterling silver to a premium Proof finish, this British £5 commemorative has a limited edition presentation of just 1,922, echoing the year of the discovery. The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II’s fifth definitive portrait by Jody Clark, making this a particularly poignant release from the final year of Her Late Majesty’s reign.
