    Hello Coin Peoples!
    I wanted to know if anyone could tell me who may know more about this coin, if there is some kind of doubling variety with the bird on the coin? I found this coin recently in a group of multiple different foreign coins and noticed the beak and head of the bird on the reverse seem to be doubled. I cannot seem to tell if it's mechanical doubling or real doubling, but it is cool regardless.

    Thanks for taking a look!

    I do not see any varieties in my 2019 Krause catalog. It does have a mintage of 45,218,431

    This is one of my favorite modern Greek coins. I haven't seen anything showing different varieties though.

    I tend to pick these out of the 10 cent boxes at coin shops whenever I see em. Have 13 so far and none of them show doubling like yours.

    Thanks for the response! Then I shall hold onto it and try and do some more research on the coin. I could not find much about it the first time but I could have just been looking in the wrong places haha.
