Greece · 1923 · 10 Lepta
This stamp is part of the 'Revolution of 1922' issue, created by overprinting existing definitive stamps from the 1911-1913 series. The overprint reads 'ΕΠΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΙΣ / 1922' (Revolution / 1922) in red ink. The underlying stamp, originally orange, features a depiction of Hermes.
The overprint commemorates the 11 September 1922 Revolution, a military coup led by pro-Venizelist officers following Greece's defeat in the Greco-Turkish War. This event led to the abdication of King Constantine I.
