Engraved into each of these silver rounds is a statement that is attributed to Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae: Molon Labe. This Greek phrase translates into having come, take. Often, the translation is made smoother as the phrase come and take them or come and take it.

Obverse

The obverse of each 1 oz Silver Molon Labe Round Type II features the image of a Spartan warrior with a spear in his hand. You can easily see all of his battle garments. In the background, there is a line of Spartans ready to defend the group against the Persian army. You will notice the phrase Molon Labe on this side of the round.

Reverse

On the reverse face of these rounds is the image of the Intaglio Mint logo. It features a radial burst that emanates from the center of the round. A stippled border including various engravings sets the reverse design apart.

History

The historical design on each of these rounds dates back to ancient Greece. King Leonidas is credited with holding the massive Persian Army at bay with just 300 men, but in reality, he had around 1,500 men. While Leonidas hadnt been able to defeat the Persians, he was able to delay the Persian forces for three days to give the Greek forces more time to prepare.
