Comment
This beautiful 2 oz high-relief silver coin with antique finish is part of the “Gladiators” series and features the Thraex, probably the most light and agile among the warriors of the Colosseum. The Thraex was armed in the Thracian style with a small rectangular shield called a parmula and a very short sword with a slightly curved blade called a sica, intended to maim an opponent's unarmoured back.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 5 Dollars - Elizabeth II (Thraex) 2017 from Solomon Islands is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a Roman-style helmet and a cape, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves.
