The myths surrounding Sparta and its warrior society are as old as the city itself. Reputedly founded in the 9th century BC, it was co-ruled by two kings who arbitrated in times of war. Upon its victory over the rival city-state of Athens in the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), Sparta emerged as the most powerful state in Greece. The verso depicts “The Return of Helen on a Quadriga”. A scene from a well-known tale by the author Homer. The obverse features a depiction of a scene from “The Return of Helen on a Quadriga”. Also included is a right facing effigy of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse features Spartan soldiers protecting Helen with classic depictions of Greek architecture in the background.
