Descrizione del rovescio	The royal coat of arms of Greece occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing the Greek cross in alternating white and blue fields, surmounted by a royal crown with cross finial. The shield is supported on either side by two nude male figures standing on a decorative horizontal base, each figure facing inward. The denomination numeral 1 appears in the lower central field below the base, with the inscription ΔΡΑΧΜΗ completing the denomination. The circular legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ (Kingdom of Greece) runs around the upper periphery.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Greece's postwar coinage reconstruction was complicated by a 1944 currency collapse so complete that the drachma was reissued at a ratio of 50 billion old drachmas to one new — making continuity of any numismatic series nearly impossible. This Paul I drachma belongs to the stabilized currency that followed, issued under a monarchy that would itself be abolished by referendum in 1974.
