Overview

A golden-hued coin featuring a map of Europe on the common side and a portrait of Eleftherios Venizelos on the national side.

Historical significance

Part of the second series of circulation coins since Greece joined the Eurozone in 2001. Eleftherios Venizelos, depicted on the national side, was one of the most prominent Greek politicians and social reformers of the 20th century.

Obverse (front)

Common EU design: Large numeral 50 next to a map of the European Union as of 2004. Six straight lines run vertically between the stars. Engraver: Luc Luycx.

Reverse (back)

Portrait of Eleftherios Venizelos (1864–1936). Legends include his name in Greek along with the face value '50 EURO CENT' and the year 2004. Designer: Georges Stamatopoulos.

Estimated value

Face value ($0.55 USD) in circulated condition; $2.00-$5.00 in Uncirculated conditions.

What drives this coin's value

Condition/grade is the primary factor. Circulated examples carry no numismatic premium; only uncirculated (MS) examples or those with rare errors are valued by collectors.

Grade assessment

Fine to Very Fine. The coin shows noticeable wear, scratches, and slight oxidation/patina typical of circulation.

Mintage & rarity

Common; approximately 25,000,000 minted in 2004.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the distinct 'Nordic gold' weight and non-magnetic properties. Examine the clarity of the fine lines on the map side and the crispness of the lettering.

Notable varieties & errors

No major die varieties or significant errors widely recognized for the 2004 Greek 50 cent.

Similar coins

50 Euro Cents from other Eurozone countries (e.g., Germany, France, Italy) which share the same common side but have different national obverses.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid oils from skin causing oxidation. Store in a PVC-free coin holder or album in a cool, dry place. Do not clean with chemicals or abrasives.
