Interesting fact

The 2 Lepta coin from Crete, Greece, was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the final years of the Ottoman Empire's rule over Crete, and it features a unique design that reflects the island's rich history and culture. Despite being a small denomination coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
