The design features the temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus with the statue of the god at centre. The theme replicates the reverse of a commemorative medal on the First National Assembly held by the revolted Greeks at Epidaurus, which was awarded to the Assembly members during the reign of king Otho. Inscribed along the inner edge is the wording ‘HELLENIC REPUBLIC’ and ‘THE FIRST GREEK CONSTITUTION’, as well as the years ‘1822’ and ‘2022’, a palmette (the mintmark of the Greek mint) and the monogram of the artist (George Stamatopoulos). The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag. (Source: ecb.europa.eu)
