2 Euros Laskarina Bouboulina

Bouboulina commanded her own fleet against the Ottoman navy during the Greek War of Independence, reportedly financing the ships from her personal fortune after her second husband was killed by Ottoman forces. She is the only woman ever designated an Admiral by the Russian Imperial Navy — an honorary rank granted in recognition of her role in the war. Greece issued this coin in 2025 as part of its ongoing commemorative €2 program, which has become one of the more prolific national series within the eurozone.

She was shot dead in 1825, four years before Greek independence was formally recognized.
