History

The three Pharaohs featured on these coins have their own unique significance in the story of ancient Egypt. Akhenaten ruled from 1353-1336 BC during the Eighteenth Dynasty. He is known for introducing Atenism, a new religion built around the sun god Aten. Thutmosis III ruled from roughly 1479 to 1425. During his reign, he brought the Egyptian empire to unprecedented heights. Lastly, Sobekneferu ruled for three years during the Middle Kingdom. While other women possibly held power before her, in general she is accepted as the first female Pharaoh.
