| A brief annotation | Did the Trojan horse really exist? The Greeks were told by the oracle that after nine years of battling for the beautiful Helen of Troy, they would enter the city as winners. However, to achieve their goal, they needed something more than brutal violence and ruthless bloodshed. Although it seems impossible, the legend states that the ruse succeeded and the Trojans pulled the wooden horse into their besieged city. No matter whether the Trojan horse ever existed – today it remains a universal symbol of deceit, brilliance and wit. |

По исполнению , дизайну сильно напоминает монеты серии " янтарный путь " ..Но честно - сувенирка , для любителей " сладенького " с большим кошельком ..

Вставка из древесины - это интересно. А если бы весь конь был из дерева?

Красота. Вставка из дерева необычно. Почему в СССР не делали вставку из дерева в рубли?
