Interesting fact
The 20 Lepta coin from Crete, Greece, was minted during a time of great change in the country. In 1900, Greece was still recovering from the Greco-Turkish War, which had ended just a few years earlier. The coin's design, featuring a wreath of olive leaves and a portrait of King George I, was a symbol of national pride and unity during a time of political and economic upheaval. Despite the challenges facing the country, the coin's production was a testament to the resilience and determination of the Greek people.
