This coin has been issued to celebrate the 150th anniversary since the birth of the Greek children's author, Penelope Delta.

Penelope Delta's innate literary talent was evident since childhood. Her contribution to literature decisively influenced the evolution of the children's book in a period when it was otherwise neglected. Inspired principally by Greek historical events, her books were read by generations of children, and continue to be relevant to the present day.

"The Nameless Story", "In the days of the Bulgarslayer", "The Secrets of the Swamp", "The Mangas", and the most beloved of all, "Crazy Antonis", remain indelibly etched in the Greek collective memory.

Penelope Delta has been elected to several learned associations and societies, and contributed in countless ways to the advancement of literature and culture.
