    Do you suppose the ancient Greeks would have been appalled? I've always thought it was one of the better modern world crowns out there. NGC MS67. The 50 Drachma came back MS66.

    They would have said something that speakers of modern Greek wouldn't understand.

    Since the coin celebrates the military coup that turned Greece into a dictatorship: Some may have liked it, others would have been appalled. ;)

    Curiously I got one of the smaller coins with the same design, like a 1 drachma or something, in change when I was a kid and remember being a bit freaked out by the design. It was the size of a dime so it must have come in change as a dime - and for a long time I hadn't a clue as to where it was from.
