| Additional information |
Issued as part of Greece's long-running Gods of Olympus bullion series, this piece was produced while Greece was in the acute phase of its sovereign debt crisis — capital controls had been imposed in late June 2015, and the Bank of Greece briefly closed its doors to the public that summer. That a state institution under those conditions continued issuing .999 gold collector coinage speaks less to optimism than to the series' pre-scheduled production commitments and the hard-currency revenue such issues generate through international numismatic markets.
