| Additional information |
The Septinsular Republic — the Ionian Islands under nominal Ottoman suzerainty and effective Russian-Ottoman joint protection — was the first nominally self-governing Greek state in the modern era, established in 1800 after Napoleon ceded the islands at Campo Formio and then lost them again at the Battle of the Nile's diplomatic aftermath. This copper issue was struck while the republic's senate operated out of Corfu, with coinage needs modest enough that the series remained limited across all denominations.
KM#3 is among the scarcer of the republic's short copper issues. The gazetta itself was a Venetian monetary unit inherited directly from two centuries of Serenissima administration — the name did not change when the government did.
