1 Greek Drachma coin (Laskarina Bouboulina)

1 Drachma — Laskarina Bouboulina (Issued 1976)

The 1 drachma was a minor coin of the Greek drachma, the currency Greece used until the euro replaced it in 2002. Struck in nickel-brass with a golden tone and reeded edge, this design belongs to the modern drachma series that celebrated heroes of the 1821 War of Independence — here the naval heroine Laskarina Bouboulina.

On the obverse, a portrait of Laskarina Bouboulina faces left, with her name “ΛΑΣΚΑΡΙΝΑ ΜΠΟΥΜΠΟΥΛΙΝΑ” inscribed around the edge.

On the reverse, a sailing ship recalling the vessels she commanded rides the sea, with the legend “ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ” (Hellenic Republic) above and the denomination “1 ΔΡΑΧΜΗ” below.
