1 Crown - Elizabeth II Tutankhamun - Canopic Coffinette, Silver proof

Pobjoy Mint struck this piece for the Isle of Man under a licensing arrangement that allowed the territory to issue commemorative coinage well outside its own historical or political sphere — a commercial model Pobjoy exploited aggressively from the 1970s onward. The canopic coffinette referenced here held the mummified liver of Tutankhamun, one of four such vessels recovered from KV62 in 1922. Howard Carter spent three full years cataloguing the tomb's contents before the coffinettes were properly examined and photographed.
