King Tuts Mysteries are Revealed in the Antique 100 Years of Tutankhamun

By ProvidentMetals.com on February 4, 2022 Filed Under: Coin Collecting

For thousands of years, cultures around the world had marveled at the wonders of Ancient Egypt and the stories of its legendary pharaohs. Time and again, one of the most talked-about pharaohs was King Tutankhamun, the alleged Boy King of Ancient Egypt. Like many stores of Ancient Egypt, scholars debated the truth of some of the legends of Egypt as physical evidence was scant. In 1922, the reality of the Boy King came to light with the discovery of a tomb holding his body inside a sarcophagus. The newest Foreign Silver Coin in our catalog online at Provident Metals celebrates the mysteries of King Tut and his tomb.

King Tut Mask

On the obverse field of the 2022 Antique Djibouti 100 Years of Tutankhamun Puzzle 500 Gram Silver Coin, you will find brilliant contrast between silver and gold. The primary visual piece of the coin is a beautiful antique, silver face mask replicating the sarcophagus of King Tutankhamun. Immediately around this mask, there are five puzzle pieces that are clad in 24-karat gold. These puzzle pieces have hieroglyphs throughout the designs. These puzzle pieces can be removed to reveal the mysteries held within King Tut’s tomb. On the top puzzle piece is an inscription of TUTANKHAMUN. When the puzzle pieces are removed, you will find inscriptions of ANNEX, SARCOPHAGUS, COFFIN CHAMBER, TREASURY, ANTECHAMBER.

Republic of Djibouti Coat of Arms

The reverse side of 2022 Antique Djibouti Tutankhamun Puzzle 500 Gram Silver Coin comes with an image of the Djibouti coat of arms. The national seal features a warrior’s shield at the center with a spear set vertically behind it that is topped by a spear. The seal is flanked on either side by hands holding battle swords, with olive branches encircling the design. The inscriptions include REPUBLIQUE DE DJIBOUTI, AG 999, 500 FRANCS, 2022, and 500 G.

The Puzzle Piece Feature

One of the most unique facets of these coins is the use of the puzzle pieces on the obverse. This 24-karat, gold-clad pieces can be removed from the surface around King Tut’s mask to reveal the secrets of his tomb. The background around Tut’s mask, without the puzzle pieces in place, shows a map of his burial chamber with each room labeled.

Coin Release Information

The coins in this beautiful release come with black presentation boxes to house the specimens and there is a Certificate of Authenticity available. Each coin has 500 Grams, 16.075 Troy oz, of .999 pure silver content and boasts a face value of 500 Francs. The coins have antique polish applied to the silver fields to reflect the ancient history of the Egyptian empire.

History of King Tut

King Tutankhamun ascended to the throne of the Egyptian Kingdom following the death of his father, the pharaoh Akhenaten. When his father died, Tut was a boy of just 8 or 9 years. During his brief reign, King Tut reversed many of the actions taken by his father. He restored the Ancient Egyptian religion, restored old monuments that had been damaged during the previous period, and moved the capital back to Thebes from his father’s city of Akhetaten. In 1922, Howard Carter found the near-intact tomb of King Tut in the Valley of The Kings outside of Thebes, Egypt.
