Comment

In 1988 coins there are varieties considering the mintmark which is in the base of the number one. Thus we see the mintmark to be either embossed or engraved and in some cases may not appear at all.

Interesting fact

The 1 Drachma coin was designed by sculptor Ioannis P. Vassilopoulos and features a portrait of Greece's national hero, Alexander the Great, on one side, and the Greek goddess Athena on the other.
