TUVALU 2010 GREAT WARRIORS
Full Set of 4 x $1 Proof Colored Pure Silver CoinsBEAUTIFUL AND RARE SET WITH LOW MINTAGE OF MAXIMUM 5, 000 OF EACH COIN WORLDWIDE
ROMAN LEGIONARY
Obverse of coin #1: A full color portrait of a Roman Legionary armed with roman short broadsword (gladius) in his right hand and cylindrical shield (scutum) in his left. The solider stands in front of a portico comprised of Ionic order columns. The legionary on the coin is depicted with the standard equi...pment of the early Empire period. He is dressed in a galea, a metal helmet with cheek guards, and a cuirass, body armor comprising overlapping iron plates or scales, known as lorica segmentata. The legionary is also wearing an apron of leather strips featuring metal plates hanging from his belt, and caligae, leather sandals with iron hobnails. The legend reads “ROMAN LEGIONARY”.
VIKINGObverse of coin #2: A full color portrait of a Viking Norseman armed with two Danish axes. The solider stands in front of a wooden door carved with Norse designs. The Dane Axe, depicted on the coin, is a type of pole arm, primarily used during the transition between the European Viking Age and early Middle Ages. Other names for the weapon include Danish Axe, English Long Axe, and Hafted Axe. The blade itself was reasonably light and forged very thin, making it superb for cutting. The thickness of the body above the edge is as thin as 2 mm. Many of these axes were constructed with a reinforced bit, typically of a higher carbon steel to facilitate a harder, sharper edge. Average weight of an axe this size is between 2 and 4 pounds (1 and 2 kg). This complex construction results in a lively and quick weapon with devastating cutting ability. The legend on the coin reads “VIKING”.
MEDIEVAL KNIGHT
Obverse of coins #3: The design shows a full color portrait of an armored Medieval Knight armed with a mace and two swords. To the right are heraldic devices, including two griffin rampants. In medieval Europe, the knight was both a wealthy, gentleman soldier and a fearsome infantry weapon. The knight was supposed to abide by the code of chivalry - moral and Christian principles, including valor, honesty, loyalty, virtue and gallantry towards women. The legend reads “KNIGHT”.
SAMURAI
Obverse of coin #4: A full color portrait of a Japanese Samurai, in a colorful, full suit of armor and armed with a two-handed katana. To the right is a scene reminiscent of a Japanese screen painting, included a bonsai-style pine tree on a rocky cliff or outcropping and a full moon. The legend reads “SAMURAI”.
