The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, erected by the sculptor Pheidias around 435 BC, was considered by ancient observers the single greatest work in the known world — Strabo wrote that seeing it in person was a religious experience, and to miss it was a misfortune. The chryselephantine original stood roughly 13 meters tall inside the Temple of Zeus and was reportedly transported to Constantinople in the 4th century AD, where it was destroyed by fire sometime around 462.
Solomon Islands has issued this series under a licensing arrangement that has nothing to do with the nation's economic or cultural history — the coins are produced for the collector bullion market with the islands functioning purely as an issuing jurisdiction.
