Description

An exceptional piece of mint art – the one in the world coin in the shape of a pyramid.

The craftsmanlike coin is the result of connecting the genius of designers from two far-distant epochs of contemporary and ancient times.

  • 3 ounces of .999 fine silver
  • Entrancing design characteristic of the Ancient Egypt!
  • Uniqueness guaranteed by the low mintage
  • Certificate of the Mint of Poland
  • New Zealand legal tender


The coin exquisitely maintained in ancient Egyptian style fascinates its admirers with its Egyptian details characteristic for that period – a faithful replication of images of three great pharaohs as well as decorative motifs taken from the tomb of Queen Hetepheres and the statue of Nofret of Meidum.

This pyramid-shaped coin is closed in a special capsule and placed in an attractive fold-out presentation box for effective exposure.
