Greece King George I Essays, Set of 8
Greece · 1896 · Various (1L, 2L, 5L, 10L, 20L, 25L, 40L, 1D)
This is a set of eight unadopted stamp essays featuring a portrait of King George I of Greece. The designs were prepared by the American Bank Note Company for a proposed definitive series but were ultimately not issued. The set showcases various denominations from 1 Lepton to 1 Drachma in different colors.
These essays were created during the reign of King George I, a period of territorial expansion and modernization for Greece, leading up to the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896.
