Front Inscription: “ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ” (Molon Labe - Come and Take Them)
Back Inscription: “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum” (Latin for If You Want Peace, Prepare for War)
🧠 The Philosophy Behind the Molon Labe Coin
The words ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ were first spoken by King Leonidas I of Sparta at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. When the Persians demanded the Spartans surrender their weapons, Leonidas defiantly answered: “Come and take them.” This short but thunderous phrase became one of history’s most enduring declarations of courage, freedom, and resistance against tyranny.
On the reverse, SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM carries an equally powerful truth: “If you want peace, prepare for war.” For centuries, this Latin maxim has reminded warriors and citizens alike that peace is preserved through strength and vigilance. Together, these inscriptions capture a timeless philosophy - stand firm in your beliefs, never surrender your principles, and protect what you value most, even against overwhelming odds.
To carry this coin is to carry a shield of resolve. It is a daily reminder of courage, self-discipline, and the strength to face adversity without fear.
