Krause - Mishler	KM# 190
Details	Athens 2004 Olympic Games Athletics has its roots in ancient Greek history and today Greeks still refer to Athletic events as classical sports. The Olympic Games in 776 BC included a 192.2 m sprint known as the one stadium race (equivalent to today's 200m sprint). In the composition a modern athlete figure appears in the foreground, shown in the starting position, while in the background two ancient runners are carved in such way as to give the appearance of a coin "worn" by time, a scene originally appearing on a black-figure vase of the 6th century B.C. Issue date: March 3, 2003 The coin is delivered in the original box with a certificate of authenticity
