Comment
The Pyramids of Egypt are the only Antique World Wonders that still exist. Placed at Egypt, widely present on novels, movies and books, they still are a source of fantasy and adventure for many people, while still have many secrets to be solved.Interesting fact
The 10 Pesos (Pyramids of Egypt) 1997 coin from Cuba is a unique and interesting piece because it features a design that is not commonly associated with Cuban currency. The coin features an image of the Pyramids of Egypt on one side and the Cuban coat of arms on the other, which makes it stand out from other coins issued by the country. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver (.999) and weighs 15 grams adds to its value and collectibility.
