Circulating coin issued during the period of the Greek Military Junta, identifiable by the use of the Phoenix as the regime's symbol, representing national 'rebirth' according to its ideology. The obverse shows a stylized Phoenix with outstretched wings, with excellent detail in the feathers and fields, while the reverse features a well-balanced maritime composition, with the trident and dolphins finely engraved and well-centered. The specimen stands out for its extraordinary state of preservation, with intense original shine, uniform silver tone, and fully defined reliefs, characteristics that justify its high MS66 grade and make it an outstanding piece within contemporary Greek numismatics.
