| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has operated as a prolific licensing partner for commemorative coin programs since the 1970s, issuing themed coinage under the authority of the Manx Treasury that has no obligation to reflect British monetary policy. This particular piece belongs to a Tutankhamun series timed loosely around the centenary of Howard Carter's 1922 discovery of KV62 in the Valley of the Kings — an excavation funded by Lord Carnarvon that upended assumptions about New Kingdom burial wealth.
The colourisation is applied post-strike, a process that disqualifies these pieces from most registry set grading without a colour-specific designation.
