Story Of A Wonderful Journey.

I am a coin made of gold. I was born during the Egyptian civilization. I have the faceprint of the Egyptian king Tutankhamen. I was kept in the king's royal treasury. There I made many precious friends. The king loved me the most of all his treasures as I was made of gold. I was also beautiful and unique. Every day he came to the royal treasury and took a glance at me. Then one day, the king died. Some of my friends were taken to his pyramid, as according to the Egyptian custom, the king travels to the eternal life after death with some important things like utensils, pottery, and money. But as I was the most beautiful one, although the king loved me the most, I was not taken to the pyramid. I was still in the treasury. Within a short period, one of the most beautiful and ancient civilizations of the world came to an end. I was buried under the ground, beside the longest blue river in the world, "The Nile". I kept on waiting, hoping to be rescued. I never realized how fast time passed; soon, three thousand years were gone. You would be wondering, with some of us buried under the earth, how I came to know that these many years have passed. This is because, one day, some archeologists came and rescued us. Soon, I was taken to the national museum of Cairo.

After staying in the museum for two years, something strange happened. One day at an auction, I was bought by a rich Indian. He was a numismatist. He had the hobby of collecting old coins. So, he came and bought me at a good price. I was loved by my master and took great care of me. as I was very precious to him, I was kept at a secret locker by him, whenever he went out. Many people came to his house only to have just a glance of me.

I feel proud to think that my life had been an amazing one. I have come across people at different time periods. I am a great archeological source of history.I cannot speak of many of my experiences, although I wish I did.
