Greek Coins
The Greek coin collection includes coins from the very beginning of the rebirth of the Greek state in 1828 up to present times.
Although (as in all my collection) I make an effort to own the very best I can afford, this is not always possible. Normally I am a type collector but with Greek coins my collection is as diversified as needed but never duplicated (except in rare cases).
As in all sections the last coins in will display first.
