Descrizione del rovescio	Denomination and date arranged in three lines at center — numeral '10' above, followed by ΛΕΠΤΑ, then the four-digit date — all enclosed within a wreath of olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The wreath branches sweep symmetrically upward from the base, with individual leaves clearly rendered. The reeded border frames the entire design.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Greece's first decade of coinage as an independent kingdom was chaotic — the Bavarian regency installed after Otto's coronation in 1832 had to build monetary infrastructure from scratch, and early copper issues suffered chronic supply problems tied to procurement disputes with foreign mints. These pieces were struck at the Athens mint, which had only recently achieved consistent production capability. The 10 lepta denomination bore the heaviest circulation burden of the copper series, and surviving examples with intact surfaces are rarer than mintage figures suggest.
