Comment
The countermarks may appear on the same side, or they may appear on separate sides.Interesting fact
The 25 Para coin from the Ionian Islands featuring George III (1814) is interesting because it was minted during a brief period of British rule over the islands, which lasted from 1815 to 1864. This coin was part of the first issue of coins minted by the British for the Ionian Islands, and it features the image of King George III on one side and the value of 25 Para on the other. The use of the Greek language on the coin reflects the cultural influence of the Greek population living on the islands. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
