2023 Sierra Leone Centenary of the Opening of Tutankhamun’s Tomb 1oz Silver

Pobjoy Mint is thrilled to announce the release of a brand new reverse frosted silver bullion coin on behalf of Sierra Leone, to commemorate the Centenary of the opening of Tutankhamun’s Tomb.

The fascination with Tutankhamun as we know today didn’t necessarily stem from the king himself but more so from his Tomb. Tutankhamun’s Tomb was discovered in 1922 almost completely intact in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, by English archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter.

The Tomb consisted of four chambers, an entrance staircase and corridor, all of which were filled with an abundance of more than 5,000 artefacts including thrones, furniture, statues and the infamous ‘Death Mask’.

This stunning new bullion coin design features the ‘Death Mask’ of Tutankhamun with hieroglyphics in the background and the wording “TUTANKHAMUN” in the surround. It also features a silver bullion privy mark “P” which is exclusive to Pobjoy Mint Bullion coins. Bullion coins are always a very attractive purchase due to their intrinsic metal value and unique designs. In order to maintain the exclusivity of this piece, no more than 10,000 of the Silver Reverse Frosted Bullion coins will be produced.  The obverse of the coin features the Coat of Arms of Sierra Leone with a frosted background.
