2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Tutankhamun

Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in November 1922, but the political fallout was immediate: Egypt and the British-backed excavation team entered a prolonged dispute over ownership of the contents, a controversy that shaped international antiquities law for decades. The Solomon Islands have issued numerous silver collector pieces tied to ancient Egyptian themes, a genre that peaked in the 2010s among Pacific island minting programs leveraging low-cost licensing agreements with third-party distributors.
