Details XIII Paneuropean Games - Athens 1982

The spirit of the Olympic Games is capsured in this unique collection of Greek legal tender coins. The coins trace the history of the games, from their birth in ancient Greece to their revival in the 1896 Olympic Games and finally to the return of the athletes to Athens in 1892.

The high jump predated the Olympics in ancient Greece. The first recorded high jump event took place in Scotland in the 19th century and early jumpers used either an elaborate straight-on approach or a scissors technique
