The sport of boxing has ancient roots in many different cultures, and in the Western tradition, a particularly long shadow is cast by the boxers of ancient Greece, whose feats were part of the original Olympics. Legendary names have survived down to the modern era from those distant times — like Pythagoras of Samos, who trained for the Olympics at sixteen years of age and was mocked as an effeminate boy before defeating all his opponents in the Games — and many of the legends of the modern sport cut similarly titanic figures in the landscape of sport and human competition, with names like Jack Johnson, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson practically defining strength and capability. Palau issues a tribute to that legacy in the form of the 2023 Republic of Palau Boxing 1/2 Gram Gold Coin, now available from Provident Metals.

Obverse & Reverse

History

A partnership between the Republic of Palau and the Coin Investment Trust kicked off the Golden Highlights series of gold collectibles in 2007. A collection devoted to eclectic themes and shaped design accentuated by silk finish quality, it has grown immensely popular over the years and the course of issuing almost four dozen bullion collectibles. The timeless quality of these pieces means they don’t need to carry a specific year of issue, and they treat a diverse range of subjects from fantasy creatures to toys, sports to everyday pastimes, toys, and other cultural touchstones. This tribute to boxing is the latest issue in this extraordinary series.
