200 Euros The Contemporary Greek Flag

Issued to mark the bicentennial of the Greek War of Independence, which began in 1821 when Greek revolutionary forces rose against Ottoman rule. The 200-year commemoration prompted an unusually broad Greek state minting program in 2021, spanning multiple denominations and themes across both gold and silver issues.

The flag itself has a contested early history — the exact sequence of designs adopted by various revolutionary factions between 1821 and the eventual standardization remains disputed among vexillologists and Greek historians alike.
