The Official Blister 2010 is dedicated to the "Athenian Triere" (or trireme), the largest battle ship for 200 years dating from the time of the Athenian democracy and Kimon (5th century b.C.- Marine Museum). Triremes were the dominant warship in the Mediterranean from around 700 to 300 BC, when naval combat took place mainly by ramming enemy vessels which would typically break apart from the force of the collision.
The "Athenian Trireme) blister was issued in November 2010 and contains the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cent and 1, 2 euros coins (unc) |
