Horemheb closed out the 18th Dynasty as a general-turned-pharaoh who systematically erased his predecessors — Akhenaten, Neferneferuaten, Smenkhkare, Tutankhamun, and Ay — from official records, reassigning their regnal years to his own count. Egypt's commemorative silver program of the 1990s drew heavily on this period of dynastic restoration, issuing pieces tied to rulers whose historical reputations had themselves been reconstructed by modern archaeology rather than surviving ancient sources.
