1960 Greece 20 Drachmai King Paul I Silver Coin

This 1960 Greece 20 Drachmai coin features King Paul I on the obverse and a dynamic equestrian figure on the reverse, representing a period of post-war recovery and modernization in Greek coinage. Issued during the reign of King Paul (1947–1964), these silver pieces circulated through the Greek economy in the early 1960s, a time of rebuilding, tourism growth, and shifting European alliances. Struck with an 83.5% silver composition at the Royal Mint in London for Greece, the coin carries both intrinsic silver value and historical significance as one of the last silver denominations before Greece transitioned further toward base-metal coinage. With its classic portraiture and national symbolism, this circulated example offers collectors and stackers a tangible link to mid-20th-century Greek history and an affordable way to own European silver coinage from the pre-euro era.
