It's a complete fantasy - there's never been an actual coin resembling this, in either ancient or modern times.

I'm not sure what script is on this piece - I can't tell if it's actual Demotic Egyptian, or the "reformed Egyptian" promulgated by the Mormons, or some kind of proto-Hebrew script.

No Egyptian coins were made depicting the Pyramids until 1984.

The famous bust of Nefertiti was excavated in 1912; the bust was unknown in antiquity.

Yeah...pure fantasy, even the script which doesn't resemble demotic or any functional language.
As a fantasy coin, it's a fun one.

Yes, that's a bit of interesting recent news...an expert concluded it's a modern piece for testing authentic Egyptian pigments.
