Additional information

Icaria's reputation for longevity — the island consistently ranks among the world's "Blue Zones," where residents routinely live past ninety — made it a natural subject for a regional commemorative issue. Whether that association drove the selection here is unconfirmed, but the island is better known internationally for its demographics than its ancient history as the mythological crash site of Icarus.

The 500 Drachmai denomination is purely notional; Greece abandoned the drachma for the euro in 2002.
