1926 Greek 50 Lepta Coin

In this post we are going to look at a 1926 Greek 50 Lepta coin. The obverse or front side has an image of the Greek Goddess Athena with a war helmet on her head. She is an important Goddess in Greek Mythology representing war but also justice, wisdom and many other important things. The back of this coin has value denomination, the words in Greece for Greek Republic as well as the date. The metal composition of it is copper and nickel. It weighs 2.9 grams and in 1926 there were approximately 20 million of these struck. Our particular coin is in a very fine grade.

At the time of this writing the currency in Greece is the Euro. Formely it was the Drachma which may be adopted again depending on the outcome of the financial crises there. The Lepton was a subunit of the former currency, 100 of which would equal 1 Drachma.

1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token

This post will take a look at an1837 Liberty Head Hard Times Token. On the front is Lady Liberty flanked by stars on each side with American motto in latin words E Pluribus Unum. The bottom of the obverse displays the year 1837. During this period in US history a depression was going on and tokens like this were used as money (hence why it is called a Hard Times token). On the reverse is the phrase "MILLIONS FOR DEFENSE NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE." This was coined by Robert Goodloe Harper in the late 1700s in defiance of a request of bribes by Talleyrand (French Foreign Minister) in order to negotiate. Apparently this wasn't something out of the ordinary for Talleyrand to request, American diplomats were offended. The Quasi War occurred shortly afterwards and lasted for a couple of years.

Silver was continually used comprising 90 percent of this coin or in measurement terms .3617 ounces of the precious metal. The mintage isn’t that high and they were only made in one mint that year. This coin was struck in arguably the worse year of the Great Depression and there weren't a large supply of coin minted in general.
