2022 or 2023 UK Discovery of Tutankhamun's - Tomb The Valley of the Kings - Egypt Gold Silver and CN Coins

On the 19th July 2022, one of the two Privy Council Proclamations about new UK coins included:

DESIGN OF THE COINS

5. The design of the said five pound gold, standard silver, silver piedfort and cupro-nickel coins shall be: ‘For the obverse impression Our effigy with the inscription “· ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 5 POUNDS ·” and the date of the year, and for the reverse a depiction of the mask of King Tutankhamun accompanied by the inscription “DISCOVERY OF TUTANKHAMUN’S TOMB”. The coin shall have a plain edge and in incuse letters the inscription “· THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS”, save for the cupro-nickel coin which shall have a grained edge.’

There was a previous notice which mentioned the word "EGYPT", but I have no more information about it.

It sounds like there will be two completely different coin issues.

Thanks for letting us know, sounds awesome! 

Let's hope if the royal mint make a colour silver coin or Bunc coin  that they do a better job than the previous colour coins 😂
