Comment

Khufu was the second king of the IVᵉ dynasty of the Old Kingdom. He is thought to have reigned around 2600 BC, succeeding Snefru and preceding Jedefrê. He commissioned the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza, but many other aspects of his reign are poorly documented. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Khéops est le deuxième roi de la IVᵉ dynastie de l'Ancien Empire. Il aurait régné aux alentours de 2600 avant notre ère, et aurait ainsi succédé à Snéfrou et précédé Djédefrê. Il est le commanditaire de la Grande Pyramide à Gizeh mais de nombreux autres aspects de son règne sont peu documentés. (Source : www.wikipedia.org)

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 2 Dollars - Elizabeth II (Khufu) 2015 from Solomon Islands made of Silver (.925) weighing 12 g is that it features an image of the Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu, on its reverse side. This pyramid is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and is considered to be one of the most impressive architectural achievements in history. The coin's design serves as a tribute to the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt, and its use of silver adds to its value and collectibility.
