Silver coin Spartacus 2 oz

Pinehurst Coins announces the release of the eighth coin in its Legendary Warrior series, Spartacus. This newest member of the series is a 2 oz Gilded and Antiqued $5 Coin of .999 fine Silver. A gladiator and military leader, Spartacus rose to prominence during the Third Servile War, a slave uprising against the Roman Republic. He skillfully commanded his forces, winning several victories against Roman legions. In 71 BCE, Spartacus and his followers were defeated in a final battle, and he perished on the battlefield. Despite his ultimate defeat, Spartacus became a symbol of resistance against tyranny and oppression, inspiring later movements for freedom and equality.
