| Additional information |
Nikolaos Gysis (1842–1901) was the preeminent figure of the Munich School in Greek art, spending most of his career in Bavaria while remaining obsessed with Hellenic subject matter. This coin was issued as part of the Bank of Greece's ongoing collector series honoring Greek cultural figures, a program that has leaned heavily on painters, poets, and architects largely unknown outside Greece but considered canonical within it.
Gysis died before completing his final large-scale work, leaving a body of paintings now held primarily at the Benaki Museum in Athens and the Neue Pinakothek in Munich.
