💎 ABOUT THE COIN

Obverse: On the obverse of this cherished coin, a proud corvette takes center stage, embodying the naval strength and storied maritime heritage of Greece. This beautiful representation harkens back to the traditional boats that braved the seas during the struggle for independence in 1821, a testament to the courage and resolve of a nation fighting for freedom. Beneath this inspiring image, the inscription reads “1 ΔΡΑΧΜΗ 1984,” gracefully displaying its value and year of minting. Surrounding this evocative depiction, the words “ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ” rise up, meaning “Hellenic Republic,” reminding us of the spirit and unity of the Greek people. This striking design is the result of the skillful collaboration between engravers Nikos Perantinos and L. Orphanos, whose artistry captures the very essence of resilience and national pride that defines Greece.

Reverse: Turning the coin over reveals a powerful tribute to Constantine Kanaris (1793-1877), a revered Greek admiral and freedom fighter whose indomitable spirit played a crucial role in the War of Greek Independence. His likeness, accompanied by the lettering “ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΣ ΚΑΝΑΡΗΣ,” translates to "Constantine Kanaris," serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for the nation's freedom. This image resonates with the determination and courage that echo throughout Greek history. Thoughtfully designed by engravers Perantinos and Orphanos, this side honors one of Greece’s most.
