| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King George II facing left, rendered in high relief with a strongly modelled, sculptural quality characteristic of early 20th-century Central European medallic art. The portrait occupies the central field, with the king depicted in civilian attire. A circular Greek legend runs along the upper periphery, with the commemorative date inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Authorized to mark the restoration of George II following the rigged plebiscite of November 1935 — in which the royalist government of Georgios Kondylis reported an implausible 97.88% vote in favor — this issue was delayed in production until 1940, by which point Greece was months away from the Italian invasion of October 28th. Few coins have been struck so close to an occupying force's arrival. The German and Italian occupation that followed effectively ended normal monetary circulation, and surviving examples in high grades are almost certainly former pocket pieces or bank-held stock rather than anything that saw trade.
