The 5 euro silver coin, dedicated to Fritillaria davisii, is a collectible item of great aesthetic and historical value.
With a face value of 5 euros, a diameter of 31 millimeters, and a weight of 17 grams, this coin is made from 33.3% silver and features a smooth edge.
The packaging is tri-fold and includes a protective case, while the printing quality is proof-like, meaning it is finely minted, giving the coin an exceptional finish.
The design of the coin is the work of artist M. Antonatou, who captures the beauty of the fritillary, a bulbous plant with striking bell-shaped flowers, in a unique way.
The Fritillaria davisii, also known as ‘little cucumber’ in Mani, was discovered in 1940 and is today listed on the IUCN Red List as a Near Threatened species.
The coin’s circulation is limited to 5,000 pieces, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
