| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse of the host Ottoman Turkish 40 Para piece (KM-670), struck under Sultan Abdulmejid I, AH1255 year 17 (circa 1855). The design features the characteristic Ottoman tughra of Abdulmejid I rendered in intricate calligraphic style, surrounded by ornamental arabesques in the field. Arabic legends appear within the design, referencing the regnal year and mint. The surface displays heavy wear and a deep copper-brown patina consistent with extensive circulation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Greek monetary authorities countermarked captured or surrendered Ottoman 40 Para pieces during the independence period as a stopgap measure to legitimize foreign copper in circulation while the nascent Greek state had neither the mint capacity nor the fiscal stability to produce its own coinage at scale. The Arabic countermark was applied to the host coin rather than replaced with Greek script — a pragmatic decision that says something about the administrative priorities of the moment.
