Interesting fact
The 100 Drachmai coin issued by Greece in 1988 to commemorate the 28th Chess Olympics features a unique design that incorporates a chessboard pattern on the reverse side. The chessboard pattern is formed by a series of small squares, with each square containing a tiny image of a chess piece. This design element not only adds visual interest to the coin but also serves as a nod to the game of chess, which is the central theme of the coin.
