I suspect it may have been 24k plated, and the plating has worn thin in a couple of spots. As for what it says, well, you're probably better at translating it than us, but it's in Greek and French and I'm pretty sure it's to commemorate Greece becoming the 10th member of the EEC (forerunner of the European Union), an event which Wikipedia says happened on 1 January 1981 so I'm not quite sure what the date "28-5-1979" on the other side refers to. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 06/13/2014 10:45 am The building depicted is the Berlaymont Building in Brussels, which houses the headquarters of the EC. I think the date 28/5/1979 could be referring to the signing of the treaty which admitted Greece into the E.E.C. in 1981. Depicted are ValÃ©ry Giscard d'Estaing, president of France which at that time (1979) held the presidency of the E.E.C. and Konstantinos Karamanlis, prime-minister of Greece.
