Product Description
2022 Greece 2 Euro Coin '200 Years Greek Constitution' in the quality Proof. It is 200 years ago that Greece adopted the Greek Constitution at the First National Assembly of Epidaurus. This created what is now Greece. The Greek state was not recognized by the major powers at this time, but decided that the Greek state was under Ottoman Sovereignty. The Ottoman Empire refused this and this led to a major naval battle on 20th October, 1822. The Greeks won this naval battle and not much later Greece declared its independence. To commemorate the adoption of the Greek Constitution 200 years ago, Greece has decided to issue a special 2 Euro coin. On the face of the coin the Greek God, Asclepius, God of Medicine, is depicted standing in front of the Temple of Asclepius. The years 1822 and 2022 are also shown. The coin is presented in a beautiful cassette and is supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
