Leonidas 1 -2024 Niue 2oz Antique Finish + Gold Plating

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.
