2€ Euro Greece 2018 – 75th Anniversary of the Death of Kostis Palamas, Colored

A collectible colored 2€ coin from the 2018 issue by the Greek Mint, dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the death of Kostis Palamas, one of the most significant figures in Greek literature and a renewer of modern Greek poetry.

Kostis Palamas (1859-1943) was an ardent supporter of the demotic language and played a crucial role in its establishment as a poetic medium. The participation of the people of Athens in his funeral in 1943 turned into a major anti-occupation demonstration.

The coin’s design is the work of the artist G. Stamatopoulos. This unique and rare collectible coin is ideal for your collection, highlighting the rich history and cultural heritage of Greece.
