Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 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 of 30 Para on the other. The use of the British monarch's image on the coin was a symbol of the islands' political status as a British dependency.
