| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Liberia's early 2000s commemorative program was essentially a commercial licensing operation — designs were contracted to foreign minting houses and sold primarily to collectors in Europe and North America, with little pretense of domestic circulation. The Battle of Marathon connection to Liberia is nonexistent; the coin exists because the subject sold.
The battle itself, fought in September 490 BC, saw an Athenian force of roughly 10,000 heavily outperform a Persian landing party estimated at two to three times that number, halting Darius I's punitive expedition against Athens for defying his authority during the Ionian Revolt.
