Olympic Coin
The Greece stamp shown here features an old Greek c
oin.
This stamp helps us to acquaint us with the statue of Zeus - the king of God - a creation
of famous sculptor Pheidias. This great gold ivory statue of the Zeus was placed in the
temple of Zeus. The temple of Zeus was considered to be the largest and most important
building of ancient Olympia. It was built 460 B.C. and was one of the largest Doric-style
temples in Greece.
