Greek collectible silver proof coin with a face value of 10 euros, for the 200 Years from the Death of Laskarina Bouboulina, maximum number of 1,500 pieces, Bank of Greece mint, issued in 2025.
Laskarina Pinotsi (better known as Bouboulina, after her second husband’s surname) was born in Constantinople in 1771 and grew up on the maritime island of Spetses. She inherited an immense fortune from her two husbands, Dimitrios Giannouzas and Dimitrios Bouboulis, and spent it all to finance the Greek Revolution. She was one of the few women to be admitted to the Friendly Society (Philike Etaireia), which masterminded the revolt. As soon as she was initiated, she started to procure military equipment, also building the 18-gun brig Agamemnon as flagship of her flotilla. At the same time, she recruited and paid for a private army of fellow islanders from Spetses. Bouboulina’s flotilla participated in the siege of Nafplio, where she later settled on land donated by the Greek government in recognition of her services. She also took part in the sieges of Monemvasia and Tripolitsa. However, after the civil war, her plea to the government to release its imprisoned opponent Theodoros Kolokotronis led to her banishment to Spetses. She was killed there in a family feud in 1825.

Demokritos is considered the forefather of modern atomic theory. He was born in Abdera, Thrace, and mentored by Lefkippos. His extensive travels in Ionia brought him into contact with the teachings of the great Ionian philosophers (Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Herakleitos). A truly universal spirit, he was erudite in almost all fields of human knowledge, as evidenced by the diversity of his writings on ethics, physics, mathematics, music, cosmology and technology, and visited many places of the then known world. According to his atomic theory, all material bodies consist of invisible, indestructible, unalterable and indivisible particles, which he called atoma (“atoms”), the Greek word for “indivisible”. In reaction to Parmenides’s static philosophy, Demokritos saw the world as being in constant motion and change. He also refuted the concept of teleology, i.e. that there is an underlying purpose to everything. Demokritos was the last of the great pre-Socratic philosophers, who were to have a profound influence on modern philosophy.

Pella supplanted Aigai as the capital of the Macedonian state at the turn of the 5th and 4th centuries BC and soon evolved into a major political, economic and cultural centre in Greece. The birthplace of Alexander the Great, Pella reached its peak during the Hellenistic period. The rich archaeological finds, notably the palace complex, temples and sumptuous private houses, provide a wealth of information about the city’s layout, architecture and economic life. The mosaic floors and the wall-paintings, rare surviving samples of ancient Greek painting, attest to the prosperity of the city and its inhabitants. Pella fell to the Romans in 168/167 BC and began to lose importance once the seat of the Roman province of Macedonia, created in 148 BC, was transferred to Thessaloniki. Pella was destroyed by an earthquake, most probably in the early 1st century BC.
