Egypt 5 pounds Tutankhamun Mask Ancient Treasures PF68 NGC silver coin 1999

The Egypt 5 Pounds silver coin issued in 1999 is part of the prestigious “Ancient Treasures” series, dedicated to the legendary Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Certified PF68 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this remarkable piece captures one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt — the golden funerary mask of the young king, a masterpiece of antiquity and royal craftsmanship.

The obverse showcases a finely sculpted representation of Tutankhamun’s death mask, with its distinctive nemes headdress, central cobra and vulture emblems, and stylized facial features. The intricate lines of the headdress and collar are sharply engraved, standing out against a deep mirrored background that enhances the Ultra Cameo contrast. The reverse presents a bold and symbolic composition with Arabic inscriptions, the denomination “5 Pounds,” and the inscription “A.R.E.” at the bottom. A central vertical motif resembling a stylized scepter or lotus stem divides the design, while the dual date “1999” appears at the top along with Arabic numerals, all framed by a decorative dotted border.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish and graded PF68 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this coin offers outstanding detail and strong visual appeal. A powerful tribute to one of history’s most famous pharaohs, it is a must-have for collectors of Egyptian history and ancient art.
