The outer ring displays the twelve stars of the European Union arranged in a continuous circle. |

Issued to mark the 2,400th anniversary of the founding of Plato's Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Greece had been under its second EU bailout programme since 2012, and the decision to issue a commemorative €2 coin celebrating philosophical heritage while the country negotiated successive austerity tranches was not lost on commentators at the time.
The Academy itself operated near Athens for over nine centuries until the Byzantine emperor Justinian I ordered its closure in 529 AD.
