Τhe 200th anniversary of the Revolution

The "Greece 2021" Committee's Numismatic Programme was implemented with a decision by the Ministry of Finance and the gracious sponsorship of the Bank of Greece, based on the recommendation of the Committee. It includes the issuance of 14 coins of rare collectible value. On them, the internationally acclaimed engravers of the Hellenic Mint have engraved, with their unique technique, emblematic moments from the history of modern Greece, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Revolution.
