We analyze an effect of the coherent $\Theta^+\Lambda(1520)$ photoproduction in $\gamma D$ interaction near the threshold. We demonstrate that the coherence effect becomes manifest in a comparison of the $nK^+$ invariant mass distribution when the $pK^-$ invariant equals the $\Lambda(1520)$ mass. Our model calculations indicate a sizeable contribution of resonant and non-resonant background processes in the $\gamma D\to np K^+K^-$ reaction which generally exceed the contribution of the coherent resonant channel. However, we find that the coherent $\Theta^+\Lambda(1520)$ photoproduction is enhanced relative to the background processes in the forward hemisphere of the $pK^-$ pair photoproduction. Moreover, the coherence effect does not depend on the $\Theta^+$ photoproduction amplitude and is defined by the probabilities of the $\Lambda(1520)$ photoproduction and the $\Theta^+\to NK$ transition. Therefore, this coherence effect may be used as an independent method for studying the mechanism of $\Theta^+$ production and $\Theta^+$ properties.
