Issued under the Isle of Man's long-running licensing arrangement that has made it one of the most prolific producers of commemorative circulating coinage in the British Isles, this piece marks the centenary of Howard Carter's 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings — a find that upended assumptions about New Kingdom burial wealth and triggered a global Egyptomania that arguably never fully subsided. The "Name Pendant" specifically references the scarab pectoral bearing the pharaoh's throne name, Nebkheperure, recovered among over 5,000 funerary objects from KV62.
