The world's first triangular coin will be unveiled today to mark the return of Tutankhamun's treasures to London.
The coin, representing a pyramid, is part of a series which depicts the artefacts unearthed in the young pharaoh's tomb in the Valley of the Kings by English archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.
It features the coffinette which contained the boy king's mummified internal organs.
The Isle of Man government will issue the coins to coincide with the current Tutankhamun touring exhibition at the O2 Arena -- which has returned to London for the first time in 30 years.
There's a photograph of the coin on the above page.
