Along the lower rim, the inscriptions '1g', '2022', and 'Au 999' denote the weight, year of issue, and gold fineness respectively.

| Reverse description | The reverse is shaped to follow the contours of Tutankhamun's funerary mask and depicts a highly detailed, three-dimensional rendering of the iconic golden death mask of the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun. The mask is shown frontally, with the characteristic striped nemes headdress falling to either side of the face, the braided divine beard projecting from the chin, and the broad usekh collar spread across the shoulders. Fine parallel striations on the headdress and collar are rendered in sharp relief, contrasting with the smoothly modeled facial features. The coin's shape precisely follows the silhouette of the mask, enhancing the sculptural realism of the design. |
