In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the almost 3,500-year-old tomb of King Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, causing a worldwide sensation. The mummified remains of a young pharaoh supported a fine mask made of gold and ornamented gold. The ancient Egyptians considered the skin of the gods to be gold.

Tutankhamun’s reputation today is based on two factors. First, he went down in history as a rejector of his father’s radical religious reform. Secondly, his tomb was discovered almost completely intact, it is the best preserved royal tomb in ancient Egypt, and that is why historians have gotten to know Tutankhamun better than other kings of Egypt.

A delightful numismatic celebration of the Year of the Ox, this highly original silver coin incorporates a fascinating embellishment in the form of a rotating charm representing the auspicious lunar animal itself! The release incorporates a gold-plated charm resembling an ox. Surrounded by artistic portrayals of oxen among floral motifs, the bead rotates on a pin which holds it securely in the middle of the coin. Featuring The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, the coin surface has been ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact.

The Butterfly
The Blue Nawab or Polyura schreiber is a butterfly which is mainly found in Singapore but also in other tropical areas in Asia. The colourful insect stands out with its eye catching pattern and a wingspan of up to 115 mm.
The green caterpillars are particularly remarkable. They weave a silk resting place on a few leaves of the plant they inhabit. This is where they rest during the day, in order to recover from their nightly feasting tours.
