<p>[QUOTE=&quot;old49er, post: 2913387, member: 78229&quot;]Have this one coming. My first Proof Commemorative Euro coin. [ATTACH=full]703888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]703889[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]703890[/ATTACH] <b>Description:</b> Athletics has its roots in ancient Greek history. Today Greeks still refer to Athletic events as classical sports. Its first Olympic Games in 776 BC included a 192.2 m sprint known as the one stadium race (equivalent to today&#039;s 200m sprint). During the first 13 Olympiads between 776 and 728 B.C. it was in fact the only athletic event. In the composition a modern athlete figure appears in the foreground, shown in the starting position, while in the background two ancient runners are carved in such way as to give the appearance of a coin &quot;worn&quot; by time, a scene originally appearing on a black-figure vase of the 6th century B.C.</p><p><b>Country</b> <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/grece-1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/grece-1.html" rel="nofollow">Greece</a></p><p><b>Type</b> Non circulating coin</p><p><b>Year</b> 2003</p><p><b>Value</b> 10 Euro</p><p>10 EUR = 12 USD</p><p><b>Metal</b> Silver (.925)</p><p><b>Weight</b> 35 g</p><p><b>Diameter</b> 40 mm</p><p><b>Thickness</b> 3 mm</p><p><b>Shape</b> Round</p><p><b>Orientation</b> Medal alignment ↑↑</p><p><b>References</b> KM# 190[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
