Greece 1973 20 drachmai rev DSLR.jpg

The modern nation of Greece obtained independence from Ottoman Turkey in 1833. It functioned as a monarchy from that year until 1925 and again from 1935-1974. Coins from these periods often feature a crown as part of the design. Today the country is the Hellenic Republic of Greece. The coin shown is a copper-nickel twenty drachmai and was the first issue of that denomination by the new republic.

Recorded mintage: 20,650,087 plus 3,092,000 issued by the dictatorship (KM 111).

Specification: copper-nickel, 29 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 112.
