Just mention the name Tutankhamun and, besides the big screen adaptions of "the curse!", the first thing that comes to mind is his jaw dropping, golden death mask. Discovered in 1922, the mask is replicated here in incredible relief and incredible detail.
Minted from three ounces of 99.9% pure silver, and then gilded with pure gold, the Boy King's mask could only possibly look better in real life... this amazing collector coin is very, very, very cool.
And the mintage? A tiny 222 pieces ever to be released.
