2025 Liberia The Sack of Rome 410 A.D. 2 oz Silver Antiqued UV Printed Coin

The sack of Rome in 410 A.D. This was a pivotal moment in the decline of the Western Roman Empire, marking the first time in nearly 800 years that the city of Rome itself had been captured by a foreign enemy. It was like a collapse of civilization itself.

The top part of the reverse depicts King Alaric and the Visigoths falling upon Rome, almost like a divine retribution, while the bottom part shows the carnage caused by the barbarians. On the obverse, we see a deteriorating laurel wreath along a Roman officer helmet pierced by arrows.
