This coin in the shape of the Great Sphinx of Tanis perfectly reproduces the statue in the Louvre Museum. The mention “1822-2022” refers to the 200-year anniversary of the decipherment of the hieroglyphs.
The reverse of the coin represents the case of the Divine worshiper Chépénoupet. In the central axis the statue of the God Amun is represented watching over the young Tutankhamun. The pyramid, a timeless link between the heritage of yesterday and today, adorns the underside of the reverse and proudly displays the cartouches of Tutankhamun.
