The Pyramids of Giza, located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, are among the most iconic and enduring monuments of ancient civilization. Built during the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egyptian history, roughly 2686-2181 BCE, these massive structures have captivated the imagination of people around the world for millennia. The complex consists of three main pyramids – the Great Pyramid of Khufu (also known as Cheops), the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), and the Pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinos).

Despite centuries of study, many aspects of the pyramids remain shrouded in mystery. Scholars continue to debate the exact methods used in their construction, particularly how the massive stone blocks were transported and lifted into place with the technology available at the time. The precise purpose of the pyramids beyond serving as royal tombs is also a subject of ongoing research and speculation. Regardless of these uncertainties, the Pyramids of Giza stand as an enduring symbol of ancient Egyptian culture, engineering prowess, and the human capacity for creating monumental works that transcend time.
The coins in the 2024 Djibouti Silver Pyramids of Giza 3-Coin Set include the national coat of arms on the base of each coin, along with the identifying hallmarks. Each coin reflects the design of each of the three main pyramids from the Giza complex. The Great Pyramid, the largest and oldest of the three, was built for the Pharaoh Khufu and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that remains largely intact. Standing at an original height of 146.5 meters (481 feet), it held the record for the world’s tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years.
