Its strategic location allowed Petra to become an important crossroads for trading caravans travelling between India and the Mediterranean. Despite being surrounded by an arid landscape where water was scarce, the Nabataeans developed an ingenious irrigation system that collected rainwater and transported it through an extensive network of channels and ceramic pipes. Their remarkable engineering allowed Petra to flourish with gardens, vineyards, fountains and even a large swimming pool. At its height, Petra was home to tens of thousands of people and was renowned for its rock-cut houses, temples, amphitheatres and monumental tombs. As trade routes changed and more convenient paths emerged, the city gradually declined and was eventually forgotten by the Western world until its rediscovery in the 19th century. Today, Petra remains one of the world's most celebrated ancient monuments and was selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This Czech Mint coin captures its most recognizable landmark, Al-Khazneh, while placing Petra within the wider collection of seven modern wonders. With its precious metal content, historical subject, detailed design and connection to the New Seven Wonders of the World series, the 2024 Czech Mint Petra 1/10 oz Gold Coin is a distinctive addition to any collection.
