    Governor: Ioannis Kapodistrias issued numerous coins dated 1828, 1830 and 1831. The first specimen is a 5 Lepta coin (Solid Circle) 1828. The obverse shows a phoenix rising from the flames with a cross above inside a solid circle and the national name in Greek legend along the rim. The reverse shows the denomination, date with a wreath and Kapodistrias's name and title in Greek legend. The second specimen is a 10 Lepta coin (W/O Circle) 1831. The obverse shows a phoenix rising from the flames with a cross above and the national name in Greek legend along the rim. The reverse shows the denomination, date with a wreath and Kapodistrias's name and title in Greek legend.
