Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Lepta coin was designed by the famous Greek artist and sculptor, Ioannis Vitsaris. He was known for his work in creating sculptures and medals, and his design for the Pattern 10 Lepta coin features an image of a young woman representing Greece, surrounded by laurel leaves and the denomination "10 lepta" in Greek letters. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's transition from the Ottoman Empire to a modern, independent nation.
