Interesting fact

The Temple of Khonso coin was designed by the Egyptian artist, Dr. Hossam Abbas, and it features an image of the temple's facade on one side and the Egyptian coat of arms on the other. The temple is dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun, and it's located in the city of Luxor, which was an important religious center during the New Kingdom period. The coin's design is meant to reflect the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and to honor the country's history and traditions.
