Interesting fact
The Pattern 30 Drachmai coin was designed to commemorate the centennial of the Greek monarchy, which was established in 1832. The coin features a portrait of King Paul I, who reigned from 1947 until his death in 1964. The coin was minted in 1963, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
