This pattern was struck in 1967, the same year a military junta seized power in Greece and suspended the constitution. The colonels' regime overhauled the coinage program almost immediately, and numerous pattern strikes from this transitional period were produced but never approved for circulation — casualties of political instability rather than any technical deficiency.
KM#Pn87 is one of several silver pattern denominations cataloged from this window. Constantine II was formally deposed in absentia following a failed counter-coup in December 1967, which makes patterns struck in his name during that year particularly short-lived in their official relevance.
