Greece 10 Euro 2022 'The Mechanism of Antikythera'

Greece 10 Euro 2022 'The Mechanism of Antikythera'. Greece has launched a new series of 10 Euro coins, which are dedicated to Ancient Greek Technology. The first coin of this series is about the Antikythera Mechanism. The mechanism is an analogue computer dating from 100 BC (now known as BCE). Therefore it is more than 2100 years old! Various astronomical time calculations could be performed with it. The mechanism also provided information about the position of the sun, the moon and four of the then known planets. The mechanism was so precious and important to the Greeks that only a few were produced and never documented so that no enemies could reproduce this Mechanism. The Antikythera Mechanism is depicted on the face of the coin together with the year 2022. On the reverse of the coin is the country name 'Greek Republic' and the value indication of 10 Euro. In the centre is the Greek coat of arms. The coin is presented in a beautiful case and is supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
