This 2023 Cook Island $5 Sparta .5g High Relief Gold coin harkens back to an ancient age of powerful warriors, with a very limited mintage of just 5,000 pieces! The Spartans were known for their seemingly invincible army and incredibly skilled wariors. Their most well-known feat was their impressive victory over their rival city-state of Athens in the Peloponnesian War from 431-404 B.C.E., which has led Sparta to be known as the most powerful state in Ancient Greece. The obverse features a classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse depicts a fierce Spartan warrior dressed in full military regalia and decked out with a crested Corinthian helmet and spear. This piece in particular has a PF70 UCAM by NGC, and only 35 out of the already low mintage exist with this perfect grade! Be one of the few to own this powerful gold rarity in your collection today!
