2025 5 dollar Silver Coin 'History of Marathon'
Limited Edition: 500
Purity: 99.9% Silver
Diameter: 45 mm
Weight: 62.2 g
The origins of the marathon date back to ancient Greece, rooted in the legend of Pheidippides, a messenger who ran from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens in 490 BC. After the Greek army defeated the invading Persians, Pheidippides sprinted more than 42 kilometers to deliver news of victory, crying "Νενικήκαμεν!" (We have won!) before collapsing from exhaustion and dying. This moment was a true act of endurance, blending heroism, sacrifice, and patriotism.
This story inspired the birth of the modern marathon at the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, reconnecting modern athletes with the glories of ancient civilizations. Over time, the marathon has evolved from a tribute to legendary achievement into a global event, allowing people from all walks of life to challenge their limits. Whether they run competitively or simply for fun, each marathon echoes Pheidippides' legendary journey and serves as a reminder that perseverance, courage, and purpose can carry them to victory, no matter how long the journey.
This 2-ounce collector's silver coin embodies the essence of the first marathon race. The reverse depicts the Greek victory over the Persians, with the Persians rushing to their ships and a jubilant Pheidippides beginning his run. The obverse depicts Pheidippides nearing the end of his journey, with the Parthenon in Athens atop the Acropolis and locals cheering him on. This exquisite coin is richly detailed to weave a beautiful and immersive narrative, allowing you to tangibly feel the energy and joy of the runners.
*Silver coins may change color if they are left with fingerprints, so we recommend wearing gloves when handling them.
*If you are purchasing a gift, please inquire about delivery times before placing your order.
