The Perth Mint struck the mask for the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the tomb, coloured and with the cartouche of the king.

In ancient Egypt

Flesh and bones of the gods

To the Egyptians, gold and silver were more than metal: they could stand for the flesh and the bones of the gods, for the sun and the moon.

Gold was linked with the gods and the deified dead because it lasts; silver, for its pale colour, with the moon and with ritual purity.

In the land of the pharaohs

Five faces of ancient Egypt

Tutankhamun reigned for about nine years, around 1336 to 1327 BC. His tomb was found largely intact; Howard Carter numbered the 5,398 objects in it, many numbers standing for whole groups.

A text from the Book of the Dead, chapter 151, runs across the shoulders and the back of the gold mask. The coin shows it only in part: the Perth Mint redrew the hieroglyphs for the field from a photograph of the back of the mask.

Four more faces appear on the gold plates from Chad: Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut and Ramesses II.

Gold from Nubia and the Eastern Desert

The Egyptian word for gold, nbw, is reflected in the ancient name of Nubia.

The map of the gold mines

Around 1150 BC a map of the Wadi Hammamat was made for a quarrying expedition of Ramesses IV, one of the earliest known maps. According to the geologist James Harrell, it bears labels such as “hills where gold is found” and “hills of gold and silver”.

It is regarded as the oldest known geological map; the next known one only appears in the sources some 29 centuries later.

Silver and the moon

For long, silver was worth more than gold

Temple inscriptions from much of Egypt’s history point to this.

Giza · wonder of the ancient world

Built for eternity

The Pyramid of Khufu is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Its ancient name was Akhet Khufu, “the Horizon of Khufu”.

Signs of the Nile

What the signs meant

The same signs return on the pieces of this world. This is how major museums describe their meaning in ancient Egypt.

  • Uraeus

    Uraeus

    The rearing cobra with its flared hood was worn on the forehead and was regarded as a sign of protection.

  • Cartouche

    In hieroglyphic inscriptions the oval surrounds the names of royal persons.

  • Eye of Ra

    Eye of Ra

    In the myth the Eye went away and only returned once wine, music and dance had calmed it; in this way the Egyptians explained the yearly journey of the sun to the south and back.

  • Wedjat eye

    Wedjat eye

    “Wedjat” means “the one that is sound”: in the myth Seth injured or stole the eye of Horus, and Thoth restored it.

  • Scarab

    Scarab

    Scarabs with the name and title of their owner often served as seals: their underside was pressed into a lump of clay.

  • Ankh

    Ankh

    As a hieroglyph the ankh wrote the words “live” and “life”; as a symbol it stood for life.

Minting and finish

Colour on proof

A proof finish sets finely frosted reliefs against a mirror-like field. The Perth Mint applies colour in layers with UV printers.

✔ Die Totenmaske des Tutanchamun 

Auf der Vorderseite der Goldmünze ist in Farbe die beeindruckende Totenmaske des Tutanchamuns eingeprägt. Diese ist von Hieroglyphen umgeben. Die echte Totenmaske des Tutanchamuns besteht aus Gold und Edelsteinen. Sie ist eins der bekanntesten und bedeutendsten Kunststücke aus der ägyptischen Kultur. Die Maske wiegt ungefähr 11 Kilogramm und ist 54 Zentimeter hoch, 39 Zentimeter breit und 49 Zentimeter tief. Gold galt im Alten Ägypten als das Symbol für die Sonne. Zudem steht es natürlich auch für den Reichtum des Pharaos. Aus diesem Grund wurde Gold auch als „Haut der Götter“ bezeichnet. 

Die Totenmaske des Tutanchamun kann im Ägyptischen Museum in Kairo bestaunt werden. 

✔ Tutanchamun – mit nur 9 Jahren wurde er zum Pharao 

Tutanchamun war ein Pharao, der ungefähr von 1332 bis 1323 vor Christus regierte, nämlich während der 18. Dynastie des Neuen Reiches. Mit einem jungen Alter von neun Jahren wurde Tutanchamun zum Pharao und somit zum Herrscher über Ägypten erklärt. Sein Grab im Tal der Könige wurde im Jahr 1922 von dem britischen Ägyptologen Howard Carter entdeckt.

Die Rückseite der Münze zeigt das Profil der britischen Queen Elizabeth II sowie ein paar Daten zur Münze: das Prägejahr (2022), die Stückelung (1 Unze), den Nennwert (100 Dollars) und die Feinheit (999,9).
