| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King George I facing left, rendered in a mature, naturalistic portrait style engraved by Jean-Auguste Barre. The king's hair is depicted with fine detail, swept back from the forehead. The engraver's signature BARRE appears in small lettering below the truncation, with the date 1882 in the lower exergue. The circular legend around the periphery reads ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ Α! ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ, and the whole design is framed by a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Greece's bronze coinage of this period was minted in Paris, a dependency of the Latin Monetary Union framework that governed much of continental Europe's subsidiary coinage from 1865 onward. The 2nd portrait variety of George I displaced the earlier effigy beginning in 1878, a modification attributed to the Paris Mint's re-engraving of the royal portrait rather than any royal decree or political event.
KM#55 is the scarcer of the two portrait types in circulated grades, largely because the 1878–1882 window produced lower combined mintages than the initial series.
