Ancient but still fascinating! How else to explain the continuing interest in Egyptian history? Every year, millions of tourists flock to see the great pyramids of Giza and discover their rich cultural heritage.

This coin in ultra-high relief (Smartminting) shows three different pharaohs on the reverse and an incredible aerial view of the Giza necropolis on the obverse. The three pharaohs depicted are Akhenaten Thutmose III and Neferousobek, the first female pharaoh. They are depicted in incredible relief, standing side by side. Behind them are hieroglyphs from the Revelation Stele in the Boulak Museum in Cairo. The obverse of this coin is truly astonishing, showing the Great Pyramids of Giza in stunning relief and detail. You can literally count the different layers of bricks on each pyramid! If you look closely you can also see the Sphinx standing out from the surface. There are plenty of other details to feast your eyes on too. All this surrounds the domed effigy of Elizabeth II.
