Only once a year on Orthodox New Year, celebrating the Ancient Cake ceremony, does that certain someone, get to win the Lucky Coin.

To enhance the annual experience, we present the elevated Golden Vasilopita Coin depicting St. Basil the Great 

The Official Golden Vasilopita Coin, also known as a Flouri or Token, was designed and minted by Father George L. Papadeas primarily for distribution worldwide to preserve this beautiful Eastern Orthodox Tradition, the ritual cutting of the Vasilopita Cake or Saint Basil's Bread.

CAUTION: Be mindful when serving the Vasilopita slice to small children and the elderly; as the coin could be a choking hazard.

The translation of Vasilopita, literally means St. Basil's Cake, honoring that benevolent bishop of so many centuries ago, an impressive 1,600 years!

This tradition celebrates the coming New Year with Prosperity, Health, and Brotherhood, and is celebrated on the first day of the New Year.

The coin is baked into the New Year's Cake or Bread, to be discovered by only one lucky person each year.

Eastern Orthodox Religion has spread globally in many areas in Europe and the United States, with churches in most countries and major cities.

The term Eastern Orthodox Europe is informally used to describe the predominantly Eastern Orthodox countries of Eastern Europe, as well as Greece, Cyprus, and one Caucasus State, Georgia. These include Belarus, Bulgaria, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine.

In Greece, Great Britain, Australia, Russia, and the United States, as well as in all countries celebrating the Orthodox New Year, the majority use a representation of a gold coin, but none as beautiful as this one.
