The Year Set consists of: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins and 1, 2 euros commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome (unc).
Greek euro coins feature a unique design for every one of the eight coins and they were all designed by Georgios Stamatopoulos. The minor coins depict Greek ships (Athenian triere - Corvette - Modern tanker ship), the middle coins portray famous Greeks (Rigas-Fereos Velestinlis - Ioannis Kapodistrias - Eleytherios Venizelos) and the two large denominations show images of Greek history and mythology (Owl - Europa abducted by Zeus)
The 2 euro coin shows the Treaty document signed by the six founding countries on a background evocating the paving (designed by Michelangelo) of the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome, where the signing took place on 25 March 1957. |
