I have shared some of my gold pieces.. lots of my silver.. Ok let's share something cheaper today! A coin made of copper!
Btw, sorry for the glare in the pics, the coin is in a protective plastic case and photos came out a bit poopish!
This is a Greek coin, minted in 1882 featuring King George I. It reads "ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ Α ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ" for "GEORGE I KING OF THE GREEKS"
and the minting year (1882) on the front side.
On the other we got a bunch of olive leafs (Greece is popular for it's olive trees) and "ΔΙΩΒΟΛΟΝ 10
ΛΕΠΤΑ" for "DIOBOL (two obols) 10 LEPTA (cents)".
Imo, a really beautiful piece but I may not be objective cause it's from my home country!
The coin weights 9.62 g and is a bit bigger than a euro coin
Despite not being made from silver, I have seen these babies starting from at least 5 euros in Facebook groups. I guess because they are rare and ols, I bet many were melted in the past for other uses. Not bad!
In other news, my rising stars giveaway has come to an end. Once again, most entries were meh but I got some lulz this time. Here's the one that made me laugh the most
Congrats
