2024 (GR) – 150 Years since the Birth of Penelope Delta (Coincard)

The design features a portrait of Penelope Delta. The theme is bordered by the wording ‘ΠΗΝΕΛΟΠΗ ΔΕΛΤΑ 1874-1941’ (‘PENELOPE DELTA 1874-1941’) and ‘ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ’ (‘HELLENIC REPUBLIC’). To the left is a palmette (mintmark of the Greek Mint) and to the right the minting year. Penelope Delta was a pioneer of children’s literature in Greece. Generations of Greek children have been raised with her books, which remain popular.

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
