| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field carries a bold five-line inscription in raised Latin capital letters arranged concentrically within the plain field, reading VON / T. ERTEL / IN / MÜNCHEN. / 1833, with the date 1833 positioned in the lower portion of the field and a small five-pointed star ornament below it serving as a terminal stop. The circular peripheral legend PROBE EINES PRÄGWERKES runs around the upper portion of the coin, separated from the reeded edge by a raised rim. The lettering is crisp and deeply struck, consistent with a presentation pattern piece intended to demonstrate the capabilities of Ertel's coining press. The overall composition is typographic rather than pictorial, emphasizing the technical and commercial purpose of this trial piece. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Greece's first coinage as an independent kingdom was entrusted to the Bavarian mint at Munich — a consequence of Otto of Wittelsbach's installation as king in 1832. These 1833 patterns were produced as the new government wrestled with establishing a monetary system from scratch, having inherited an economy devastated by over a decade of war against Ottoman rule. The Phoenix coinage of Kapodistrias had already come and gone; this series was Greece's second attempt at sovereign currency in fewer than ten years.
As a pattern, this piece never entered circulation. The Karamitsos reference places it among a small group of trial strikings evaluated before the confirmed series was approved.
