Success of a coin before its release? It is possible!

Spartacus is an issue inaugurating the Great Commanders series,  which is dedicated to historical warriors of antique. We had a pleasure to take part in World Money Fair 2018 in Berlin, when we presented    this exceptional coin for the first time. It recieved a great deal of concrete attention not only from known numismatic companies but also individual collectors.

The official premiere will be held on the 20th of March. Mintage of the coin is spreading immediately - over a half of it has already been sold!

 

Poster promoting the coin:

The hero of the coin - Spartacus - was a slave, Roman gladiator, probably Thracian. He organised and led the greatest slave uprising in ancient Rome (73-71 B.C.), where 100 000 warriors took part in. During the revolt, first, he defeated guardians, then he got away to Vesuvius where he begun to create an army consinting of slaves and gladiators. First to find out about the army was Claudius Glaber sent by pretor Publius Warinius. In that time about 3000 Roman warriors were killes. The uprising was repressed by Marc Crassus. Spartacus died in battle but his body was never found.

Reverse catches an occurence in accordance with historical truth. In the front, feature of Spartacus on a horse attacking Roman soldiers, who protect themselves with a shield, gains a detailed outline of the muscles, threatening mimics and characteristic armour. In the background we can see slaves hastening to fight the enemy and following the leader of the revolt. Whole design deserves for the highest approval, because it is the first beautiful reflection of the famous war scene. Thanks to high ot of attention. Especially intriguing is the body of the commander: relief and stunning perspective game, coin is told to be realistic, artistic and sophisticated.

The obverse of the coin shows a road of freedom fight in place of modern Appeninian Peninsula and face of famous British Queen Elisabeth II. Sparatcus is the first coin in the world to connect in a special way collecting and educational value. It raises lots of emotions thanks to using three dimentional technique and original subject.

Analising collecting values - the coin is made from the purest kind of silver 999. Blood elements were plattered with pink gold, which adds unusual colouring and drama. We can also see a 3 mm high relief, which conntected with antique finishing creates a special form. Mintage is very low - only 1 000 pieces around the world. Each coin has an individual number.
