Greece · 1930 · 50 λ (Lepta)

This stamp commemorates the 100th anniversary of Greek independence. The design features a dramatic depiction of the 1827 Battle of Navarino, a decisive naval engagement where an allied fleet of British, French, and Russian ships destroyed an Ottoman-Egyptian fleet. This victory was a crucial step towards securing Greece's sovereignty.

Issued in 1930, this set celebrated the centenary of the London Protocol, which formally established Greece as an independent, sovereign state after a long and arduous war against the Ottoman Empire.
