Trumpman's Treasury #6 - 30 Drachmas Silver Coin, "The Kings of Greece"

Hope you are ready for another silver coin and some greek history from my treasury!

Today's coin is big. It's heavy. And it looks epic. When other coins have a king or a queen or whatever, this one has five. Specifically, the 5 kings of Greece, from 1863 to 1963 while  other side features the map of Greece. The ring inscription reads (in Greek), "My power the love of the people".

These coins were minted in 1963, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the five Greek Kings. They have a weight of 18 g, a diameter of 34 mm and are made of  0.835 silver. 

About 3 millions of them were printed so they are relatively common, usually going in auctions for at least 5 to 10 Euros or more, depending on the condition. As you can see mine is quite dirty and since I am not an expert I don't plan to clean it anytime soon. I would hate to damage it with my idiocy. And I am definitely not selling it anytime soon cause it's among my favorite possessions. 

Here are some more photos of the beauty. Enjoy:
