Over the centuries, our treatment of mummies has changed considerably. While they were once seen as spooky relics of an ancient past by many in the public, today they are treated with greater reverence and solemnity. In part, this is due to the advent of the x-ray machine, which enabled scientists to view the skeleton of the mummy without unwrapping its bandages. Upon witnessing these x-ray images, we are reminded that these mummies were once human beings just like us and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
All 2022 1 oz Silver X-Ray Mummy Coins are official legal tender backed by the monetary authority of Cook Islands. These beautiful specimens include proof and ultra-high relief visuals and will arrive in original mint packaging. This includes a themed presentation case as well as a Certificate of Authenticity.
Queen Elizabeth II is found on the obverse of 2022 Cook Islands Silver X-Ray Mummy Coins. This effigy is from 1998 and is credited to Ian Rank-Broadley. To the left of the portrait, we see a stunning x-ray image of a mummy skeleton. Inscriptions on the obverse read Elizabeth II, 5 Dollars, Cook Islands, 2022. The entire obverse field appears black, with the exception of the x-ray.
A mummy coffin is shown on the reverse of 2022 1 oz Proof Cook Islands Silver X-Ray Mummy Coins. This coffin bears resemblance to many Egyptian coffins in real life, including that of King Tut. The field also includes a Pharoah death mask in profile as well as several lines of hieroglyphics.
