| Aanvullende informatie |
Greece's 1915 coinage sits at the epicenter of the Ethnikos Dichasmos — the National Schism — in which King Constantine I and Prime Minister Venizelos fought bitterly over whether Greece would enter the First World War on the side of the Entente. The essai for this denomination was produced but the regular issue never entered circulation, a casualty of the political paralysis that ultimately forced Constantine's abdication in 1917.
KM#E35 is among the scarcer Greek pattern issues of the period, with surviving examples almost certainly limited to mint and archival specimens.
