The “Thrace” coin set is a tribute to the centennial anniversary of the incorporation of Western Thrace into Greece.
This collector’s edition combines historical significance with artistic interpretation, immortalizing this important event.
The coin is inspired by the ancient coinage of Abdera, featuring the griffin, a mythical creature that symbolized the city and its history.
According to mythology, the griffin is associated with Hercules and Abderus, while the people of Teos used it as an emblem on their currency.
The anniversary edition, curated by G. Stamatopoulos, comes with a pin that replicates the coin’s design, while the words “100 years from the integration of Thrace” and “Hellenic Republic 2020” around the coin’s edge enhance its commemorative aspect.
This set is a unique piece for any collection, combining historical importance with aesthetic pleasure and cultural heritage.
