The images on this reproduction Athens Greek Coin are very significant to the Greek city-state of Athens. The coin is held in a clear plastic blister and is supplied in full color pamphlet style packaging, complete with images and historical information of both the coin and the ancient Greeks.
Greece started to emerge from the Dark Ages in the eighth century B.C. The Ancient Greeks lived in mainland Greece and the Greek islands, but as the population expanded, also in what is now Turkey, and in the colonies scattered around the Mediterranean Sea coast. There were Greeks in Italy, Sicily, North Africa and as far west as France. Sailing the sea to trade and find new land, Greeks took their way of life to many places. There was not one country called Greece. Instead, there were small city-states. Each city-state had its own government. Sometimes the city-states fought one another, sometimes they joined together. Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and Olympia were four of the largest city-states.
