5 drachmen uit Griekenland van koning Georgios I, 1875 1875

This silver coin, minted in 1875, depicts the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Greece, featuring a crowned shield with a white cross on a blue background. The inscription around the edge reads “ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ”, which translates to "Kingdom of Greece", and the value “5 ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ” or "5 Drachmas" is inscribed at the bottom. This coin was likely part of a larger set, used for everyday transactions in Greece during the reign of King George I. The coin's design, which incorporated the Greek coat of arms, was intended to showcase the country's sovereignty and national identity. This artwork is a part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
