"Young Indiana Jones" was a one-hour television program which ran on the ABC television network from 1992 to 1996. Some were not released at the time but were released on DVDs later in 2007.

The program was produced by Amblin Entertainment, Lucasfilm, and Paramount Television. All of the programs were later packaged and edited for DVD release.
 
The program was inspired by the character from the three "Indiana Jones" films released from 1981 to 1989 which starred Harrison Ford as the 1930's archaeologist and adventurer.
 
These films were: "Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)" "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)"
 
The television episodes covered the period roughly from 1908 to 1920.
 
Some of the episodes show mostly early 1900's US and foreign coins.
 
The DVD cover features American, British, and French coins.
 
This episode is titled "Masks of Evil" and was first broadcast on November 28, 1999.
