    Yesterday I received two SBSB 1oz silver proof Argyraspides rounds.
     
    "The Argyraspides, so called because they used silver plated shields, were a division of the Macedonian Army under Alexander the Great. They were hand picked men commanded by Nicanor, son of Parmenion and were held in high regard by Alexander. Originally they were a type of soldier called Hypaspists or "shield bearers" They were made up of older men but they were one of Alexander the Great's most feared units."
     
    There is also a 1/10th oz version of which  the coin creator Chris Duane says:
    "The short story behind it is that throughout all of history and 2/3 of the world today, 1/10 of an ounce of silver represents 1 days labor.  Roman soldiers were paid a denarius for each day they served the Roman Legion. In Sun Tzu's the Art of War a 10,000 man army could be bought for a 1,000 ounces of silver a day."
     
    ***************
    It would be nice if during my retirement I was able to live off each of my 1 oz silver coins for 10 days!
     

     
    I suppose that this coin with a mintage of 2850 is doing well for them as  my COAs are 2307 and 2336.
     
    Cheers,
    Luker
