Smyrna 1922-2022 Historical Coin Collection

“One of the strongest feelings I brought back from Smyrna was the feeling of shame, because I belonged to the human race.”

These words were written by the U.S. Consul, George Horton, as he watched the fire destroying his beloved city. Horton loved Smyrna and felt it as his homeland.

100 years since the Catastrophe of Smyrna.
