| Beschrijving keerzijde | Left-facing helmeted bust of Athena, goddess of wisdom, rendered in a bold, sculptural style inspired by ancient Greek coinage. She wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, with flowing hair curling beneath in decorative waves. A beaded necklace is visible at the neck. The engraver's signature GILLIÉRON FILS is inscribed in small Latin lettering along the right field. The design reflects the neoclassical artistic sensibility of Émile Gilliéron Jr., blending ancient iconographic tradition with early twentieth-century aesthetics. |

Greece's monetary situation in 1926 was a shambles — the country had emerged from the catastrophic Asia Minor Campaign and the subsequent population exchange with Turkey financially exhausted, with the drachma in freehold collapse. The pattern coinage of this period reflects the government's attempts to rebuild a credible currency system, often in collaboration with foreign mints exploring various alloy compositions before committing to production. KM#Pn54 represents one of several rejected trial strikes from this stabilization effort.
The copper-nickel formula here was ultimately not adopted for the circulating 2 Drachmai series.
