1 oz Legendary Warriors Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great, born in 356 BCE, was a fearless Macedonian ruler and military genius who conquered a huge empire including the eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, Egypt, and some parts of Asia in a short amount of time. Alexander earned the title ‘the Great’ due to his success as a military leader who never lost a battle, despite often being outnumbered.

This silver round is the fourth release in the ‘Legendary Warriors’ series. The first three releases in this collection were Eric Bloodaxe, Julius Caesar, and Achilles. Future releases are expected to include: Alexander the Great, Spartacus, William Wallace, Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Leonidas I, Miyamoto Musashi, Arminius, Attila the Hun, and Hannibal.

The reverse side of the fine silver round features a detailed design showing Alexander the Great on horseback, engaged in battle. He is depicted raising his sword aloft and holding a shield bearing the face of Medusa, to strike fear into his enemies.

The obverse of the round bears a bundle of weapons to represent the ‘Legendary Warriors’ series. The round’s weight and fineness also appear.
