Interesting fact

The obverse (front) side of the coin features a portrait of King Constantine I of Greece, who reigned from 1913 to 1917 and again from 1920 to 1922. This coin was minted during his second reign, and it's interesting to note that King Constantine was forced to abdicate the throne twice due to his controversial political views and actions. Despite this, his image still appears on many Greek coins from that era, including the 1926 2 Drachmai coin.
