| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination numeral 10 dominates the central field in large, bold figures, surmounted by the Greek legend ΛΕΠΤΑ (Lepta) arching above. The design is framed by a wreath of two olive branches, their stems tied with a ribbon at the base and their leafy sprays extending upward to either side of the numeral. The entire composition is encircled by a fine beaded border consistent with the Paris Mint's production standards of the period. |

Greece switched from pure copper to copper-nickel for its small coinage in the 1890s partly under pressure from the Latin Monetary Union, of which it was a founding member, and partly to reduce the cost of producing fractional denominations that had been plagued by hoarding and export for their metal content. The two-year window of this issue reflects a short production run before the country's fiscal collapse — Greece declared bankruptcy in 1893 and suspended debt payments, severely curtailing government spending including mint operations.
