2 euro – Marathon – Greece – 2010 - UNC

2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the 2500th anniversary of the Battle of Marathon, UNC.
The Battle on the plain of Marathon in September 490 BCE between Greeks and the invading forces of Persian king Darius I (r. 522-486 BCE), was a victory that would go down in folklore as the moment the Greek city-states showed the world their courage and excellence and won their liberty.
Marathon was the first time that mighty Persian Achaemenid Empire had been shown beatable and the battle would be represented in Greek art.
