Commentary
Ce type ne fut frappé que pour le millésime 1833 dans les circonstances difficiles que rencontrait la Grèce à l'époque. Le chiffre de fabrication de cette monnaie est controversée mais nous citons celui qui est le plus généralement accepté.
This type was only struck for the year 1833 in the difficult circumstances Greece was facing at the time. The mintage figure for this coin is controversial, but we quote the most generally accepted one.

Historical background
GREECE - KINGDOM OF GREECE – OTTO
(1832-1862)
Otto I of Wittelbasch (06/1/1815-07/26/1867) was the youngest son of Ludwig I of Bavaria (1825-1848). The London Protocol had guaranteed the independence of Greece and the Treaty of Munich, of May 7, 1832, gave the throne to Otho I. Badly surrounded, badly advised, Germanophile, Otho ends up alienating the Greeks. At the end of the Crimean War, at the Treaty of Paris in 1856, he was clumsy and did not ask for territorial compensation for Greece. He abdicated in 1862.
