Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Drachmai (National Revolution; Regime of the Colonels) ND (1970) coin from Greece is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The Regime of the Colonels, a military dictatorship, came to power in 1967 and ruled Greece until 1974. The coin was issued in 1970, during the height of the regime's power, and its design reflects the nationalist and authoritarian themes that were prevalent at the time. The coin's obverse features a portrait of a helmeted warrior, symbolizing the military's grip on power, while the reverse depicts a phoenix rising from the ashes, representing the regime's vision of a reborn and strengthened Greece. Despite its interesting history, the coin is not widely recognized or valuable, and it is considered a collector's item rather than a widely circulating currency.
