Based on the Battle of Thermopylae, the Molon Labe silver round series drew in collectors with its varying depictions of Spartan warriors engaged in battle with the mighty Persian Army. The Spartans made a famous stand against the overwhelming force of the Persian Army, even refusing to lay down their arms to save their lives. Instead, King Leonidas simply responded to the offer with molon labe, a phrase that informed the Persians they were welcome to come and try to take the weapons of the Spartans. Provident Metals now has 2022 Niue Molon Labe 1 oz Silver Coins available to you for purchase online.

Obverse

Queen Elizabeth II features on the obverse side of 2022 Niue Molon Labe Silver Coins. This 1998 design from Ian Rank-Broadley presents the Queen in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The inscriptions on this side include ELIZABETH II, NIUE, TWO DOLLARS, and 2022. There is a border design on this side that features the shields and spears of Spartan warriors.

Reverse

A Spartan warrior is depicted against a battle motif background in the reverse design of 2022 Molon Labe 1 oz Silver Coins. The warrior in the foreground is in right-profile relief and is set against a battle scene in the background that includes warriors and cavalry. The coin includes a lone inscription on this side that reads MOLON LABE.

History

The Type I and Type II releases in the Molon Labe Series share the same obverse and reverse designs, but have different design orientations. The Type I release featured a Medallion Die orientation, with the portraits on each side both set upright as you spin the coin 180 degrees. These Type II coins have a Coin Die orientation, resulting in one portrait being upright and the other upside down as you rotate the coin 180 degrees.
