| Reverse description | The central field depicts a detailed cartographic relief map of Greece, with regional inscriptions identifying ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ, ΘΡΑΚΗ, ΗΠΕΙΡΟΣ, ΕΠΤΑΝΗΣΟΣ, ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ, ΝΗΣΟΙ ΑΙΓΑΙΟΥ, ΔΩΔΕΚΑΝΗΣΟΣ, and ΚΡΗΤΗ. A period sailing vessel is shown at sea to the lower left, evoking the nation's maritime heritage. The denomination 30 ΔΡ. appears prominently in the lower field beneath the map. The circular legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ runs along the outer border, with the word ΑΝΑΜΝΗΣΤΙΚΟΝ inscribed across the map field, and the engraver's signature Β. ΦΑΛΛΗΡΕΑΣ visible at the lower right margin. |

| Additional information |
Produced as a pattern in 1963, this piece was part of a proposed coinage modernization that never advanced to circulation strikes. Greece's monetary situation in the early 1960s was complicated by post-civil-war economic recovery and the political instability that would culminate in the 1967 junta — reforms with long time horizons rarely survived the period intact.
KM#Pn78 is documented but genuinely scarce in the numismatic record, with confirmed survivors numbering in the single digits.
