In 2017, a €2 coin was issued to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the death of the Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis, author of famous works such as Zorba the Greek and The Last Temptation of Christ. Kazantzakis was one of the most important figures in Greek literature, and his works influenced both the literary world and philosophy. This proof coin, housed in a case with a certificate, was produced in a strictly limited mintage of only 1,500 pieces, giving it special significance for collectors.
