Hello Sheila! I have no earthly idea, but that is a cool looking coin! Someone here will know!

Notice the left part of the U is missing on TUTAMEN. It weighs 9.46 grams.

It is the fourth image above.
Neat looking with the missing part of U (over the reeded edge). Neat how it affects only the letter and not the reeding. It might be a grease filled collar die.

I have seen this coin as a Silver Proof, but have not seen the ordinary circulation coin. Yours is probably worth about $6-8
