2 Euro 2004 Greece – Olympic Games Athens

Let’s start with the first Greek Commemorative 2 Euro Coins which is perhaps the best known, but still the least valuable one. I am referring to the one minted in 2004 on the occasion of the Olympic Games held in Athens that same year.

As we can see in the obverse, the coin shows perfectly placed in the center the representation of Mirone’s discobolus with on the left the five Olympic circles that are, as we know, the official symbol of the Olympics with the ATHENS 2004 written on it. On the right we can instead see the writing 2 EYPO which means 2 Euro. At the top is instead placed the Anthemion, a flower in stylized form that is none other than the symbol of the Mint of Athens.

Below we can find the thousandth of minting divided into two figures with the sixth star in the center. As for all the other coins around are evident the 12 stars that represent the European States.

On the reverse side the coin has the old common side, equal to the other 2 Euro coins. (The “old” Common Face i.e. the one that presents the map of the European countries with the defined borders)
