| 裏面の説明 | The reverse of the host Ottoman 40 Para coin (KM-670, AH1255, regnal year 22 or 23) bears an applied Greek countermark in the central field consisting of the incuse rectangular punch 'KAA' with the date '1884', stamped over the original Arabic legends and decorative inscriptions of the host coin. The surrounding Ottoman Arabic text, including the mint name and AH date 1255, remains partially legible around the periphery despite significant wear and patination. |

In 1884, the Greek government authorized countermarking large-format Ottoman copper coins — primarily the 40 Para pieces of Abdülmecid I — for continued circulation within Greek territory. The practice solved an immediate shortage of small change without the expense of a fresh minting, a fiscal shortcut common in the eastern Mediterranean where Ottoman coinage had circulated freely for generations after Greek independence in 1821. The countermark effectively re-monetized foreign copper at a fixed Greek valuation.
The host coin, struck at Constantinople under the AH1255 series, was already decades old by the time Greek authorities applied the KAA punch.
