500 Drachmes

Greece abandoned the drachma in 2001 when it adopted the euro, so this 2018 piece has no monetary function whatsoever — it was issued purely as a collector item invoking a currency that had been defunct for seventeen years. The drachma name itself carries roughly 2,600 years of continuous use in Greek monetary history, which makes its appearance on a silver-plated copper-nickel souvenir something of an irony.
