Interesting fact
The 10 Lepta coin from Crete, Greece, was minted during a time when the island was still under Ottoman rule, specifically between 1898 and 1900. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during this period that featured the Ottoman Sultan's name, Abdülhamid II, on one side and the Greek goddess Athena on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time of political transition and cultural exchange between two empires.
