Bhutan's Royal Monetary Authority issued several bimetallic collector pieces in the early 2000s targeting the thematic numismatic market, which was expanding rapidly as mints worldwide competed for the same collector base. This piece has no connection to the pyramids beyond the licensing of the theme — Bhutan is landlocked in the eastern Himalayas and issued it purely as a foreign-market collector item.
The precise one troy ounce silver plus quarter troy ounce gold split was a deliberate commercial formula, making melt calculation straightforward for dealers.
