Greece held the rotating EU Council presidency in the first half of 2014 under deeply awkward circumstances — the country was still operating under its second international bailout, negotiated in 2012, and remained subject to the troika's austerity conditions throughout the entire presidency. The political optics of Athens setting the EU agenda while simultaneously being supervised by EU institutions made this one of the more structurally contradictory presidencies in the Council's history.
The Bank of Greece issued commemorative silver throughout this period with some regularity, though collector demand has remained modest outside domestic markets.
