{{/presale}}The Greek historian Plutarch famously ascribed the phrase Molon Labe to King Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae. Translating to come and take it, the phrase indicates the fierce resolve, grit, and resilience of the legendary Spartan army. Currently, 2023 1 oz Molon Labe Silver Rounds are available to purchase online from BGASC.
Round Highlights:
When you order 2023 1 oz Molon Labe Rounds, they will arrive in protective packaging. Individual rounds will ship in plastic flips, while multiples of twenty arrive in tubes. These rounds were struck in .999 pure silver at Intaglio Mint, a private precious metals company established in 2010 and based in Colorado. The rounds will arrive in new condition.
Obverse
Upon the obverse of 2023 Molon Labe Silver Rounds, there is a scene from the Battle of Thermopylae. In this epic rendering, we see a lone Spartan soldier preparing to meet encroaching Persian forces. Inscribed along the lower portion of the round are the words Molon Labe.
Reverse
For the reverse of these 1 oz Molon Labe Silver Rounds, we find the logo for Intaglio Mint. Featured on the majority of Intaglio products, this emblem shows a Roman column shaped in the letter I. Surrounding the emblem is a beaded pattern, concentric circles, and inscriptions of the identifying hallmarks. This year marks the first time we find the year of mintage in the design as well.
History
The Molon Labe Series features a range of different designs inspired by the Battle of Thermopylae. This classic battle has been described in numerous historical texts and is also the subject of the 2007 blockbuster film 300. The battle pitted the underdog Spartans against the overwhelming Persian forces and marked a key turning point in the Greco-Persian War.
