| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a geometric composition of concentric circles and radiating omphalos motifs, symbolizing Delphi's ancient status as the omphalos — the navel or center — of the world. The design is rendered in a highly stylized, relief-engraved pattern that fills the entire field, conveying both sacred geometry and artistic restraint. The inscription ΔΕΛΦΟΙ arcs prominently across the upper portion of the design, while the date 2015 appears in the lower field. The minimalist yet powerful imagery pays direct homage to the Delphic omphalos stone housed in the Delphi Archaeological Museum. |

Part of the Bank of Greece's ongoing series celebrating ancient Greek sites, this miniature gold issue corresponds with broader European numismatic interest in fractional gold that accelerated after 2008 as collector demand shifted toward lower-entry-point precious metal coins. Delphi, seat of the Oracle and the Panhellenic sanctuary of Apollo, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
At one gram, the dies must be cut with exceptional precision — any drift in relief depth becomes proportionally more pronounced at this scale than on standard sovereign-weight pieces.
