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.

200 euro 2014 Proof Aristotelis Aristotle
Greek collectible gold proof coin with a face value of 200 euros, for Aristotle (384-322 BC), maximum number of 600 pieces, Bank of Greece mint, issued in 2014.
A student of Plato’s and tutor to Alexander the Great, Aristotle was one of the great figures of ancient Greek philosophy. Born in Stageira, Chalkidiki, Aristotle spent many years in Athens, where, after leaving Plato’s Academy, he later founded a school of his own, the Lyceum. Distancing himself from the idealism of the Academy, Aristotle believed that true knowledge should be acquired through empirical observation and sense perception. His work laid the foundations for numerous disciplines, such as logic, physics, biology, psychology, ethics, rhetoric and political science. His influence was immense until the Renaissance, spreading across major civilisations, from the Arab to the Western European.

50 euro 2014 Proof Cycladic Culture & Civilization
Greek collectible gold proof coin with a face value of 50 euros, for the Cultural Heritage of Cycladic Culture, maximum number of 1,000 pieces, Bank of Greece mint, issued in 2014.
The Cycladic Civilisation is the earliest important civilisation to emerge during the Bronze Age in Greece, with remarkable achievements dating as far back as 3200 B.C. The Cyclades inhabitants soon organised themselves into thriving settlements that benefited from sea trade and the abundance of valuable raw materials such as obsidian (Milos) and marble (Paros). The austere landscape of the small Cycladic islands gave rise to a civilisation characterised by abstraction and stark simplicity. The numerous archaeological artefacts unearthed on the islands include the world-famous Cycladic figurines, which influenced modern art. The Cycladic Civilisation influenced the Minoan Civilisation in its early phase and contributed to the cultural flourishing of Crete and Mycenaean Greece in the Bronze Age. The prehistoric city of Akrotiri on the island of Santorini, perfectly preserved for having been buried for thousands of years under volcanic ash, provides a window into Cycladic Civilisation in its later phase.

50 euro 2015 Proof Cultural Heritage of Delphi
Greek collectible gold proof coin with a face value of 50 euros, for the Cultural Heritage of Delphi, maximum number of 1,000 pieces, Bank of Greece mint, issued in 2015.
Delphi, a centre for the worship of Apollo in the foothills of Mount Parnassus, was one of the most venerable sanctuaries in ancient Greece. Thanks to its famed oracle and the ambiguous prophecies delivered by the Pythia, Delphi had great religious and political importance for both the ancient Greeks, who considered it the “navel of the earth”, and the ancient world at large. Delphi was the venue of the pan-Hellenic Pythian Games, second in prestige only to the Olympics. The spirituality of the site was amplified by exhortations coined by the ancient Greek sages (“Know thyself ”, “Nothing in excess”), inscribed on the Τemple of Apollo’s entrance. The splendour of Delphi was revived in modern times with the Delphic Festivals of 1927 and 1930 organised by poet Angelos Sikelianos and the current activities of the European Cultural Centre of Delphi.
