SWIMMING SILVER COIN

Description: Swimming was highly esteemed in ancient Greece and Rome, as shown on vases and wall paintings dating back to 1,600 B.C., especially as a form of training for warriors. In modern times competitive swimming was instituted in Great Britain at the end of the 18th century and the first modern Olympic Games, held in Athens, Greece, in 1896, included swimming races. On the coin a woman swimmer is depicted, preparing to dive from the diving-board, while in the background another woman athlete is just about to dive into the water, a scene from an Archaic bronze statuette.
