Description

The listing, Gold Color Greek 1976 Drachma National Hero & 1821 Corvette has ended.

This hefty gold-color coin in bright and excellent condition (and I didn't even wipe it with my sleeve) is a Greek Greece 1976 1 DRACHMA COIN, catalog KM#116, featuring Greek National Hero Konstantinos Kanaris on one side, and a two-masted "Corvette" sailing ship on the other.

Konstantinos (Constantine) Kanaris (1793 - 1877) came from the island of Psara. He blew up the Turkish armada at Chios and Tenedos and other Turkish ships at Mytilene and Samos (1824). He was said to have encouraged himself by murmuring "Konstantí, you are going to die" every time he was approaching a Turkish warship on the fire boat he was about to detonate.

Whoa ...

Anyway, please check out my other Greek coins. Next, I'm moving onto some very old Hong Kong coins, so check back often!

Questions & Comments

Is it legal tender or a token? Thanks.

All the coins I have are real coins, not monopoly money or anything! LOL

Thanks. I am thinking of adding it to my collection and just wanted to make sure. Sometimes, people are putting up tokens and calling them coins.

These are real coins, but I have another 300 foreign coins from many exotic countries, 1940s to 1990s. Many of those coins are made from lightweight inexpensive materials, so they feel like tokens but they really are (or were) currency.

COIN COLLECTORS -- Please take note! I have 260+ MORE foriegn coins, mostly from the 1940-1980, that I have decided NOT to put on Listia. I am offering them for sale to Listia collectors before I put them on craigslist next weekend. If you are interested, e-mail me and I can send you the list.
