The denomination and date are displayed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base with a crossed ribbon and joined at the top by an interlaced knot.

The wreath sprays extend symmetrically on either side, rendered in finely detailed relief. |

Greece's first copper coinage as an independent kingdom was struck at the Paris and Munich mints, the newly installed Bavarian king Otto having brought German administrative sensibilities — and German mint relationships — with him when he took the throne in 1832. The Paris issues carry a torch mintmark; Munich pieces bear none, a distinction that matters considerably to specialists working through the series.
Production ran intermittently across the stated range, with Munich handling the bulk of early striking before Paris took a larger share. Die alignment inconsistencies are well-documented across both facilities for this type.
