Product Description

The BU set from Greece 2017 has as its theme Crete. The island of Crete is Greece's largest island (8336 sq.km) and is the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean. The history of Crete stretches back a thousand years. According to Mythology it is the birthplace of Zeus. Because it lies at the borders of three continents, Asia-Africa-Europe, there have been several occupants. These are e.g. The Romans, Arabs, Venetians and finally the Ottomans. In 1913 Crete became part of Greece. It is a very beautiful island with beautiful nature, high mountains, rocks and beautiful beaches. To date, the population has its own manner and a typical mentality that stems from the rich history of this beautiful island with its mild climate. This BU set from Greece 2017 contains the complete series of Greek Euro coins from 2017. The coins are packed in a luxury package that shows various images of Crete.
