1884-A Greece Gold 20 Drachmai George I Avg Circ
Struck in the late nineteenth century, this gold coin represents a fascinating chapter of Greek numismatic history. Minted in 1884 at the Paris Mint, which is indicated by the letter A, the piece is composed of 90 percent pure gold, containing exactly 0.1867 troy ounces of the precious metal. It circulated during the reign of King George I, whose profile is captured on the obverse side. The design of the coin showcases a detailed portrait of King George I on the obverse, accompanied by an inscription that includes the year of manufacture. On the reverse, the crowned royal arms of Greece serve as the central motif, with the face value of 20 Drachmae clearly displayed beneath the shield. Cataloged by numismatists as KM#56, this coin survived decades of circulation, leaving it in an average circulated state that tells a silent story of its journey through daily commerce.
