2209) "The Mummy", The Cook Islands: Coin Minted By: B.H. Mayer's Kunstprageanstalt GmbH at their facilities in Munich: Coin Coordinated by Coin Invest Trust (CIT): Year of Coin issue: 2022:
The predecessor coin ‘Vitruvian Man‘ has shown how fascinating the idea of mixing an ancient topic with the modern invention of the x-rays can be.
With this edition one is travelling back in time even more. Howard Carter would have been happy if he could have x-rayed the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun. (Carter was a British archaeologist, who made one of the richest and most-celebrated discoveries in Egyptology - finding the (1922) largely intact tomb of King Tutankhamen in 1922).
This interesting coin makes it possible and combines some of the best of minting technology and colorization to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
On the Reverse of the $5 (Five Dollars) Silver Coin is seen the Mummy in ultra-high relief surrounded by Egyptian hieroglyphs.
On the Obverse of the $5 (Five Dollars) Silver Coin is seen the Mummy's colourised x-ray image.
