Vasilopita Coin – Greek New Year Lucky Coin | Φλουρί Βασιλόπιτας

Bring one of Greece’s most-loved New Year traditions to your Vasilopita with our traditional Vasilopita Coin – Φλουρί Βασιλόπιτας.

Every New Year’s Day, Greek families gather to cut the Vasilopita, the traditional Greek New Year cake or bread associated with Saint Basil (Agios Vasilios). Hidden inside is a lucky coin, known as the flouri. Whoever receives the slice containing the coin is traditionally believed to receive good luck and blessings for the year ahead.

It is the piece we all secretly hope for every year!

These gold-colour Greek Vasilopita coins were purchased in Greece on our latest buying trip and are perfect for continuing this beautiful Vasilopita tradition at home.

One side features Καλή Χρονιά – “Good Year / Happy New Year”, while the reverse features Saint George slaying the dragon.

Use your Vasilopita coin as the traditional Greek New Year cake coin in your homemade Vasilopita, or give one to family and friends as a Greek New Year lucky coin and good luck charm for the year ahead.

For many of us, cutting the Vasilopita is one of those traditions we remember from childhood — gathering together, waiting for the pieces to be shared and hoping ours will contain the flouri.

If the Vasilopita tradition is already part of your family’s Greek New Year celebrations, you know just how special that moment is. If it isn’t, this might be the year to begin a tradition your family will look forward to every New Year’s Day.

Important: If placing the coin inside a Vasilopita, we recommend wrapping it securely in aluminium foil before placing it into the cake. The coin is not edible and should be removed before eating. Please take care when serving, particularly to children.
