Left-facing helmeted bust of Athena rendered in high relief, wearing a crested Attic helmet with elaborate plume and cheek guards, her hair flowing in braided strands beneath the rim of the helmet. A small owl of Athena, the classical Athenian symbol, stands facing in the upper left field, with the date 1960 inscribed below it. The peripheral legend reads in Latin: GRAECIA ANNO A CHR N CDXC PUGNA MARATHONIA VICIMUS, commemorating the 2,490th anniversary of the Greek victory at the Battle of Marathon. The field displays a polished proof finish contrasting with the finely detailed sculptural relief. |

The "Aureus Magnus Marathon" issues were privately struck fantasy pieces produced in the early 1960s, bearing no connection to any sovereign authority. The denomination "2½ Ducats" is entirely nominal — a confection designed to invoke historical monetary tradition without belonging to any actual ducal coinage sequence.
Struck in unusually high-fineness gold for a private issue of this type, which kept melt value close to face.
