MEET LEONIDAS I — THE LEGENDARY KING OF SPARTA

Leonidas I stands among history’s greatest warriors and leaders. As king of Sparta, he became a symbol of courage and sacrifice during the Second Persian War. In 480 BCE, he led an elite force of Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae, holding off the vast Persian army with brilliant strategy and unshakable resolve.

Leonidas' heroic stand - though ending in his death -  became a timeless emblem of resistance and Spartan honor — inspiring generations with the story of bravery against impossible odds.

This legacy is now captured in a 2 oz .999 fine silver coin, antiqued and gilded, created in collaboration between Pinehurst Coins and T&S Coin. Leonidas I is the 10th release in the Legendary Warriors series — a 15-coin tribute to history’s most fearless leaders.
