Coins from Greece
Masterpieces of Greek antiquity have been particularly popular in numismatic imagery in recent decades. They adorn the coins and medals of modern Greece as an integral part of its national identity. They also feature in the numismatic products of many other European states and euro area countries, alongside significant works of modern European art and music, demonstrating the rich cultural heritage of Europe, in which Greece holds a prominent place.
Depictions of international sporting events (such as the Olympic Games) are an equally frequent theme, as they promote the spirit of international cooperation.
