Commentary


Pour l'atelier de Paris, ce type ne fut frappé que pour le millésime 1834. Le choix par la Grèce d'un atelier monétaire étranger pour ses frappes en argent s'explique à l'examen des productions locales de 5 et 10 lepta en bronze, dont la qualité rappelle plutôt les frappes de la période révolutionnaire française..

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.
