| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hellenic State's copper coinage of 1831 was struck at a moment of acute institutional fragility — Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first governor of independent Greece, had been assassinated in October of that year, plunging the country into civil conflict before a viable monetary system had fully taken root. Production was handled at the Aegina mint, Greece's first modern mint, established just years earlier in 1829. Mintages were modest and distribution uneven across a country still contested by rival factions.
KM#12 pieces that circulated did so hard, and uncirculated survivors are genuinely scarce.
