Pour la Crète, la seule année de fabrication est 1901 avec des pièces de 5, 2 et 1 drachme et 50 letpa en argent, 2 lepta et lepton en bronze, (1 drachme = 100 lepta). Les pièces sont fabriquées suite aux lois des 23 mars et du 5 avril 1901 avec une mise en fabrication en septembre 1901. Les pièces furent démonétisées par le décret du 3 octobre 1929. La Crète fut rattachée à la Grèce en août 1913 par le traité de Bucarest.
