In today's silver show off I have another greek small coin although this one was issued by the Cretan state in 1901, about 10 years before the island of Crete officially became a part of Greece:
The front side reads ΠΡΙΓΚΗΨ ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ ΥΠΑΤΟΣ ΑΡΜΟΣΤΗΣ ΕΝ ΚΡΗΤΗ 1901
for "Prince George of Greece, high commissioner of Crete 1901" and features a portrait of Prince George of Greece and Denmark.
The backside reads ΚΡΗΤΙΚΗ ΠΟΛΙΤΕΙΑ 50 ΛΕΠΤΑ for "Cretan State 50 Lepta (cents)" and features a crowned coat of arms.
A relatively small piece, 2.5 g of 0.835 silver:
Small but sexy XD
Due to the hole and the relatively poor condition I got it for pretty much spot price. Not bad :D
