Comment
In 1844 cut by mistake some "10 LEPTA" coins with lettering "ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ" because the dies are not promptly replaced. Also, in 1833 coins there are some variation with anchor and Paris mint letter A.Interesting fact
The 10 Lepta coin from Greece, minted between 1833 and 1844, features a unique design element - a small image of a ship on the reverse side. This ship design was meant to symbolize Greece's maritime history and its importance in the country's economy.
