The 7 Wonders of the Ancient world are among the most famous landmarks in human history.
The Colossus of Rhodes was a massive 33-Meter statue of the sun god Helios. It was erected on the Greek island of Rhodes shortly after their victory in the Siege of Rhodes, where they successfully defended the island from the Macedonian leader Demetrius Poliorecetes. King Ptolemy I of Egypt, a close ally of the city, assisted greatly in the victory. His effigy is displayed on the reverse along with a denomination accurate to the era.
