Details	The Discobolus of Myron ("discus thrower") is a famous Roman marble copy of a lost Greek bronze original, completed during the zenith of the classical period between 460-450 BC. A discus thrower is depicted about to release his throw. The moment captured in the statue is an example of rhythmos, harmony and balance and Myron is often credited as being the first sculptor to master this style. The coin commemorates the Olympic Games of 2004 held in Athens. It was formally introduced in a press conference held on May 14, 2004 and circulated on 12 March 2004
