The Greek 2 euro standard circulation coin features a design inspired by an ancient mosaic discovered in Sparta, dating back to the third century AD. This intricate depiction shows the abduction of Europa by Zeus, who has transformed himself into a bull to carry her away. The scene serves as a profound link to the mythological foundations of European identity, reflecting the country's deep historical connection to the continent's cultural origins. Surrounding the central motif are the twelve stars of the European Union, integrated with the denomination and the national identification. This standard issue was minted in 2020. The coin is also available as part of a Brilliant Uncirculated set.
