• Legal tender coins of the Isle of Man
• Struck by the Pobjoy Mint, the Official producers of coins for the Tutankhamun Exhibition, that was in London
• Large Bronze coin 56 x42 mm in size in Death Mask pack display

For the first time since 1972, the legendary treasures from King Tutankhamun’s tomb returned to London as part of a spectacular new exhibition. To celebrate the return of Tutankhamun, the Isle of Man issued a stunning series of new commemorative coins – including the world’s first Pyramid coins that are triangular in imitation of the ancient pyramids.

Each coin depicts a priceless artefact from the tomb, including Tutankhamun’s legendary Death Mask and Throne.

Due to the difficulty of striking coins in such unusual shapes, they are being issued in strictly limited numbers.

Pobjoy Mint was established in the middle ages in Great Britain and today makes superior coins for special commemoratives and for governments.

Pobjoy has reputation as top coin designer and coin dieing techniques and for top quality packaging.

The Pobjoy family has been associated with fine metalwork since the Middle Ages. The Company was recently granted permission to use the family Coat of Arms in which the Medieval Popinjay is the central motif. The Popinjay was a painted wooden parrot used in archery contests in the 14th century and the name Pobjoy is derived from this. The Latin motto 'OCULO CERTO' means 'with an unerring eye' and applies equally to the ancestor's prowess as a marksman, as to the Company's reputation for the high quality and precision of its products. Over the past three centuries, the Company has been involved in many diverse fields, but they have always been involved in metal, both base and precious. During World War II Pobjoy Aero Engineering was involved in the manufacturing of the famous Spitfire wings. The Company is now the largest private Mint in Europe.
