<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1250367, member: 17919&quot;]I think that had something to do with the tumultuous period of the &#039;60s and &#039;70s. In 1967, there was a military coup, but the then-king, Constantine, who had acceded to the throne in 1964, remained as head of state until he was forced into exile in late 1967, but he was still depicted on some Greek coins. The leader of the military coup, Colonel Papadopolous, was himself ousted in 1973, then in 1974 the military dictatorship got into trouble by trying to meddle in Cyprus (sort of like the Argentine dictatorship and the Falkland Islands), and the dictatorship in Greece was toppled. Then in 1975, the monarchy was abolished (the same year that Spain reinstated its monarchy).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
