Interesting fact
The Battle of Thermopylae, which is depicted on the coin, was a real historical event that took place in 480 BCE during the Persian Wars. It was a battle between the Persian Empire and a coalition of Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas of Sparta. The battle took place in a narrow mountain pass near Thermopylae, where the Greeks had built a wall to defend against the Persian army. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held off the Persians for several days before they were defeated. The bravery and sacrifice of the Greeks at Thermopylae has become a legendary symbol of heroism and patriotism in Western history.
