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 controversé mais nous citons celui qui est le plus généralement accepté.

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.
