| Additional information |
Sierra Leone has issued commemorative silver dollars tied to Egyptian themes since the early 2000s, and this piece continues that long-running program with no particular connection between the issuing nation and the subject matter — a common arrangement in the modern collector-coin industry, where small sovereign states license their minting authority to private distributors. Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter on November 4, 1922, making 2023 a loose centennial year for the find.
The KM#518 designation places this well into a very large Sierra Leone catalog of similar issues.
