2€ Euro Greece 2014 – Union of the Ionian Islands, Colored

A collectible colored 2 euro coin, a unique piece issued by the Bank of Greece in 2014, celebrating 150 years since the Union of the Ionian Islands with Greece (1864-2014). The coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality and is colored, offering an impressive aesthetic.

The inner part of the coin features a seven-pointed star displaying the phrase: ‘150 YEARS FROM THE UNION OF THE SEPTINSULAR REPUBLIC WITH GREECE 1864-2014’, the name of the issuing country, ‘HELLENIC REPUBLIC’, and the mint mark of the Greek state.

The symbols of the Ionian Islands appear in the spaces between the star’s rays, while a decorative wave pattern surrounds the entire design.

The Ionian Islands, a cluster of seven islands, have a rich history that includes Venetian rule, conquest by Napoleon Bonaparte, and British sovereignty before finally uniting with Greece in 1864.

This coin is a wonderful commemorative collection of this history, making it a rare and valuable piece for any coin collector.
