History & Notable Facts
The 1935 100 Drachmai coin was struck in silver during Greece's economic freefall, a bold move when most nations were hoarding bullion.
That silver came from the Laurium mines, ancient sources revived in the 1930s, linking it to Greece's classical past. The obverse shows King George II in profile, his reign already shaky. On the reverse, a phoenix rises from flames—ironic, given the currency's collapse a few years later.
Mintage figures? Lost in wartime chaos, so don't ask. The coin measures 38 millimeters across, weighing 17.5 grams, with a reeded edge to foil counterfeiters.
Design-wise, it's straightforward: no frills, just competent engraving by the Athens mint. Collectors sometimes overvalue it for rarity, but it's just a piece of interwar currency.
Some say it foretold Greece's resilience. Others are just wrong.
