Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Para coin from the Ionian Islands is that it was minted during a brief period of British rule over the islands, which lasted from 1815 to 1864. During this time, the Ionian Islands were a British protectorate, and the coinage was minted with the image of King George III on one side and the value and date on the other. The use of the silver standard and the weight of 3 grams made it a valuable and reliable coin for everyday transactions.
