Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 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 portrait of King George III on one side and the inscription "United States of the Ionian Islands" on the other. This coin is a rare and unique piece of numismatic history, reflecting the complex political and cultural influences that have shaped the region over time.
