One of dozens of collector issues struck by Greece to mark the return of the Olympic Games to Athens in 2004 — the first time the Games had been held in Greece since their modern revival in 1896. The Athens organizing committee was awarded the 2004 Games in 1997 after a controversial 1996 decision had bypassed Greece entirely in favor of Atlanta, despite widespread expectation that the centennial Games would return to their birthplace.
KM#200 is one of several denomination-and-sport pairings in the series, each issued in limited quantities for the collector market.
