1973 Greek Coins of the Regime of Colonels Mint Set (Impaired)
On April 21, 1967, a group of right-wing colonels staged a coup to take control of the Greek government. The ensuing dictatorship was brutal and strict, driven by anti-communist -- and anti-Soviet -- sentiment. It lasted seven years, when leader Dimitrios Ioannidis was ousted and the Third Hellenic Republic began.
This mint set, dating to the last full year of the regime's rule, features eight coins: 10 lepta, 20 lepta, 50 lepta, 1 drachma, 2 drachmai, 5 drachmai, 10 drachmai, and 20 drachmai.
