| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination 10 ΛΕΠΤΑ (10 Lepta) is boldly inscribed in two lines at the centre of the field, framed by a wreath composed of a laurel branch to the left and an olive branch to the right, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The date 1828 appears in the lower exergual area below the wreath. A circular legend in Greek script surrounds the entire design, reading ΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΤΗΣ Ι. Α. ΚΑΠΟΔΙΣΤΡΙΑΣ (Governor I. A. Kapodistrias), honouring the first Governor of Greece. The coin's border is defined by a fine toothed or reeded rim, characteristic of milled coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1828 Greek coinage was among the first issued by the nascent Greek state under Ioannis Kapodistrias, who had been elected the first Governor of Greece just the previous year. These early issues were struck at Aegina, which served as the provisional capital, making them foundational pieces in the history of modern Greek numismatics. The phoenix design on the circulating issues of this period was a deliberate political choice by Kapodistrias — a symbol of national rebirth after nearly four centuries of Ottoman rule.
As a pattern, this piece represents an unreleased proposal, likely exploring weight or module specifications that differed from what finally entered production.
