Lettering: · THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS. Royal Mint, Llantrisant, United Kingdom (1968-date). Issued to commemorate the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb. This strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design continued to bear the image of The Queen, in support of His Majesty the King's ambition for a sustainable transition.
This ensured minimal environmental impact as the designs, tools and packaging for these products had already been produced. The coin was issued individually as well as in a coin and stamp cover (issue limit: 750, sales unknown), and the design was also struck in copper-nickel, silver piedfort and gold proof.
