The first coin from the series “ History of the Theatre” is dedicated to the theatre in Epidauros. The theatre is amazingly reconstructed to the smallest detail. The biggest impression makes a theatron - a place for an audience which remains its unique look due to a sunken shape of the reverse side of the coin. The coin is made of 3 ounces of oxidated silver of the highest fineness 999 which beautifully brings out the antic character of the coin. Round shape, high relief of 2 mm and precision of each detail contribute to a very accurate reflection of the edifice. On the reverse side two images of the great Greek writers are presented : Sophocles and Aeschylus who along with Euripides formed the triad of Athenian dramatic poets. We owe them a rapid development of an Old Greek tragedy. This series is an alive lesson of history. Every following coin will concern a topic of a theatre development and its different forms which had a significant impact on a current shape of the theatre. Undoubtedly, “History of the Theatre” has an enormous educational qualities which along with its perfect esthetics and an impressive design would be a very valuable acquisition for every coin collector.
