Greece's small bronze coinage of this period was minted in Paris, bearing the privy marks of the Monnaie de Paris — a contractual arrangement that reflected the country's limited domestic minting capacity decades after independence. The "2nd portrait" designation distinguishes this type from the earlier George I issues by a revised effigy, a change made at the dies level rather than through any formal royal decree or commemorative intention.
By the early 1880s, these five-lepta pieces were so undervalued in daily commerce that hoarding was essentially pointless, which paradoxically drove survival rates down — spent hard and lost often.
