Comment
To celebrate the 2004 Summer Olympics returning to its birthplace, Greece, a special collection of coins were issued. Each coin depicts a different sport in front of a prominent land mark of each country that has held the Olympic Games.
Greece has held the Games on one occasion prior to its 2004 bid, in 1896.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique selective color ink design, which adds a pop of color to the silver coin. The colorful design is a nod to the 2004 Summer Olympics, which were held in Greece, and the coin was issued in 2005 to commemorate the event. The use of selective color ink adds an extra layer of depth and visual interest to the coin, making it a standout piece in any collection.
