Part of Greece's ongoing Aesop's Fables series, this issue draws from one of the most politically loaded fables in the ancient corpus — the story that a small, powerless creature can save its apparent superior through an unexpected act. The fable has been dated to Aesop himself, though ancient attribution is always suspect, and versions appear across Phaedrus and Babrius in the Roman tradition.
Nordic gold — a copper-aluminum-zinc-tin alloy — has been Greece's material of choice for this denomination since the series launched, chosen partly to satisfy EU bimetallic standards while keeping production costs below silver.
