The Egyptians took over Egypt during the 18th dynasty although the expulsion of the Hyksos began in the 17th dynasty.

The 18th Dynasty was composed of Ahmose I, Amenhotep I, Tuthomsis I, II, III, Hatshepsut, Amenhotep II, Thutmosis IV, Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, Smenkhkare, Tutankhamun, Ay and Horemheb. Spelling will vary depending on the source.

Prior to Ahmose I, the land of Egypt paid tribute to the Hyksos, an asiatic people from Canaan, who had taken over nothern Egypt. The center of Egyptian resistance was Thebes. Ahmose's father, a ruler there, rebelled against the Hyksos prince. After his death, possibly in battle, he was followed by his son Kamose (the brother of Ahmose I). After Kamose's death of unknown causes, Ahmose took over and unified Egypt under his rule.

Kamose was the last Pharaoh of the 17th dynasty, Ahmose I was the first Pharaoh of the 18th and they were brothers.

Did Moses in the time of Ramses II trade with china silk if so then the coin that was found during the Ming dynasty could have actually started as trade pharaoh in the time of Moses some 100 yrs later?

No. Egypt and China did not know of each other until significantly later, much closer to 300 B.C.E. (Over 1000 years after Ramses II). The Ming Dynasty only came to power in 1368 C.E., which is over 1600 years after these initial contacts. There is no way that anything that happened in the Ming Dynasty has any correlation to Ramses II or Moses.
