The Second Hellenic Republic refers to the 11-year period between 1924 and 1935 when Greece had a republican form of government following the fall of the monarchy in March 1924. It was not until 1926, however, that the republic issued its first distinctive coinage. The obverse side of the 50 lepta, as well as the 1 and 2 drachma coins, show the image of the goddess Athena facing left, with the denomination on the reverse. The 1930 5 drachma depicts a phoenix rising from the flames and in Greek mythology the bird is known for living for a long time and regenerating itself. We can off er a 4-coin set from this turbulent period in Greece’s history in circulated condition.
