The Greek 2 euro standard circulation coin features a design inspired by a mosaic discovered in Sparta, dating back to the third century AD. This intricate artwork depicts the abduction of Europa by Zeus, who had transformed himself into a bull to carry her away. The imagery serves as a profound link to the mythological origins of the continent's name, reflecting Greece's deep-rooted historical and cultural connection to the foundations of European identity. Surrounding the central motif are the twelve stars of the European Union, integrated with the denomination and the national identifier. The coin was issued in 2022. This specific specimen was originally released as part of a Brilliant Uncirculated set.
