Comment
Differs from KM#5 in that there are no dashes around the number 10 on the reverse, and in the language of the denomination.Interesting fact
The 10 Gazettae coin from the Septinsular Republic (1800-1814) is interesting because it was issued during a brief period of independence for the Ionian Islands, which were otherwise under Ottoman rule for centuries. The coin's design features a unique blend of Greek and British influences, reflecting the island's cultural and political ties to both nations. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal for coinage.
