Olympic Games - Athens 2004 Sets

The first time coins were minted showing the Olympic Games was in the 15th Olympiad in Helsinki, Finland. The design was proposed for the 1940 Helsinki Games, but these were cancelled due to the Second World War. The Austrians then followed with the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Olympics and the Japanese in the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Ever since the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, each organizing country has minted one or more coin series since the great demand from collectors helps to cover some of the Games' budget. The number of Olympic coins issued has also increased, as 24 different coins were minted for the 1972 Munich Olympics and 45 for the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The success of circulation has led other countries to mint Olympic Games coins, the so-called 'sympathy coins' which have a secondary collectors' value.

The following Official Blisters were issued in Greece since the introduction of the Common European Currency on January 1, 2002:
