Nice coins 'Siberian Man'. Early coins from the Kingdom of Greece are indeed interesting. I have a couple of specimens under Otto/Othon. They seem tough to find in higher grades though. GREECE (KINGDOM)~5 Lepta 1833 GREECE (KINGDOM)~10 Lepta 1849 <Large Crown>
There are quite a few coins from Greece that I've seen and which I think are very attractive. Thanks for putting these up here!
