Greece unveils designs for commemorative €2 coinsNation plans two circulating commems for 2018 Greece has announced the themes and unveiled designs for both of its 2018 circulating commemorative €2 coins.One of the coins marks 70 years since the union of the Dodecanese with Greece. The Dodecanese is a name meaning “The Twelve Islands,” and today denotes an island group in the southeastern Aegean Sea, comprising 15 major islands and 93 smaller islands that were under other rule for 740 years. Following World War II, they were formally united with Greece by the 1947 Peace Treaty with Italy. The second coin will celebrate Greek poet Kostis Palamas (1859 to 1943) 75 years after his death.
