Comment

Maria Callas (1923–1977), American-born Greek operatic soprano, was the preeminent prima donna (lead female opera singer) of her day, and the first modern soprano to revive forgotten operas of the 19th-century bel canto repertoire. Callas revolutionized opera performances through her vocal and dramatic intensity, transforming what had traditionally been empty display pieces into serious and emotion-filled dramas. She drew praise for the distinctive color of her voice, her dramatic presence, and her careful musicianship. This unique soprano is the main motif of this commemorative coin and her image is shown in the obverse of it.
The coin is issued in BU quality in triptych blister set along with eight (8) Greek euro coins (€2, €1, €0.50, €0.20, €0.10, €0.05, €0.02, €0.01), minted in 2007 also in BU quality.
