60 Para - George III

The Ionian Islands came under British protection in 1815 via the Treaty of Paris, but this piece was struck a year earlier — during the transitional moment when British administration was being established following the collapse of French control under Napoleon. The United States of the Ionian Islands was a nominally self-governing republic, but the British Lord High Commissioner held effective authority, making these coins a British colonial issue in all but name.

The 60 Para denomination was calibrated to circulate alongside Ottoman currency, reflecting the economic reality of a population long accustomed to Turkish monetary units.
