Description

Celebrate the legendary might of ancient Rome with the 2025 “Thundering Legion” coin, struck from 62.2 g of .999 fine silver in a bold 45 mm format. Issued by Liberia with a face value of 5 Dollars and limited to just 300 pieces worldwide, this high-relief masterpiece with antique finish and selective gilding pays tribute to Legio XII Fulminata—Julius Caesar’s famed legion known as the “Thunderbolt.” Revered for its resilience in eastern frontier warfare and immortalized for its miraculous salvation during the Marcomannic Wars, when a thunderstorm revived Roman forces and scattered their enemies, the legion remains a powerful symbol of divine favor and military prowess. The reverse showcases a commanding centurion, flanked by soldiers bearing gladius, pilum, and scutum, while a golden eagle soars above—emblem of imperial might. In the backdrop, the Seven Hills of Rome rise under a looming storm, evoking the drama of the legion’s most fabled moment. The obverse features the issuing authority and completes this collectible with an air of solemn grandeur. With elite craftsmanship, rich symbolism, and a compelling story cast in silver, this coin is a must-have for history lovers, military enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
