5 Lepta - George I Pattern

Aversbeschreibung	Bare-headed effigy of King George I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair. The engraver's signature BARRE appears beneath the truncation, with the mintmaster's mark E to the lower left and the date 1877 in the exergue. The circular legend reads ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ Α! ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ, meaning 'George I, King of the Greeks,' running along the toothed border. The portrait is modelled in a classical neoclassical style characteristic of Barre's work for the Paris Mint.

Reversbeschreibung	A laurel wreath, tied at the base with a ribbon, encloses a three-line inscription reading ΟΒΟΛΟΣ / 5 / ΛΕΠΤΑ denoting the denomination. Beneath the central denomination, the word ESSAI — indicating the essai or pattern status of the piece — is flanked on each side by an anchor privy mark, the standard device of the Paris Mint. The overall composition is clean and centralised within a plain field, framed by a toothed border consistent with the obverse.
