Seems like they are Greek. Unfortunately I don't think they are worth a lot, probably cents.

 

Your coins are indeed Greek coins woth the denomination of 1 drachme. They were issued from 1976 until 1986 and made of nickel-brass.
As gxseries already stated, they are only worth a couple of cents.
Just to get an idea: when Greece converted to the euro, 1 euro made 369 drachmes (368.758 to be precize).

 

Greece km116 1 Drachma (1976-1986)

 

I like the previous design.When I first saw it,in a necklace,I actually thought it was actually gold.
Oh well.it's a beautiful coin anyway.

 

The man on the coin is Konstantinos Kanaris (KONΣTANTINOΣ ΚΑΝΑΡΗΣ).

More info about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantinos_Kanaris

 

Sterling,that is a very good article you have posted there.

Hello,
Several years ago, I bought a cane in Venice. On the knob of this cane I can see the same people and name dockwalliper shew on a drachma and Carpiglione3 was searching for the coin's value. I cannot find anything on Internet about this people. Is there anybody knowing sthg about him? It is what I'm interesting in for my part.
