Interesting fact
The 50 Lepta coin from Greece, 1973, has a unique feature. It's a rare coin that has an upside-down portrait of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and the Greek dictator Georgios Papadopoulos on the other. This unusual design was a result of a mistake during the minting process, and only a few coins were produced with this error. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
