 This popular bimetallic coin features a bold design of the golden mask of King Tutankhamun, one of the most iconic pieces of ancient Egyptian art. Its highly symbolic design combines ancient Egyptian motifs with elements of modern Egyptian currency.

 Judging from the actual photographs provided, the coin retains its luster well, and the Tutankhamun mask, the surrounding decorations, and the lettering are all clearly visible.
