| Beschrijving keerzijde | Depiction of the scene from the back of Tutankhamun's golden throne, showing the pharaoh's queen Ankhesenamun anointing her young husband with perfume or sacred oil. The two figures are rendered in the distinctive flat profile style of ancient Egyptian art, with the seated pharaoh receiving the unction from the standing queen. The composition is framed within the triangular format of the flan, with hieroglyphic decorative elements filling the surrounding field. The denomination 1 CROWN appears as the principal legend. The design faithfully evokes the celebrated painted scene discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. |

The Isle of Man has issued commemorative crowns under license since the 1970s, producing themed series for everything from space exploration to Hollywood cats — Tutankhamun fits squarely in that commercial tradition. The "Anointing of the Pharaoh" subject references the ritual preparation of the boy king before his coronation around 1332 BC, though Egyptologists continue to debate the precise ceremonies performed given how little direct textual evidence survives from Tutankhamun's reign specifically.
