Unlike other countries like the U.S., there weren't many silver coins circulating in my country, Greece. Of course now we have the EURO, and to my knowledge none of these coins are made of silver.
Today, I'll show you one of those, the 20 Drachma coin, minted from 1960 to 1965. I have about a dozen of those in my collection.
On the one side, these coins feature King Paul the first and have a weight of 7.5 gr. This side reads "King Paul, King of Greece". Selene the moon goddess on a horse is depicted on the other. The composition of the coins is Silver (.835).
Usually,, these coins go for around 5-10 EUROs, depending on their condition.
Ok, enough with the history lesson. You can use google if you want to learn more about them! Here are some more photos:
