1963 30 Drachmai from Greece...it's silver and worth about $10 in melt, probably not much more than that in this condition.

Blotchy patina keeps this genuine but common 30 Drachma modern Greek to melt value.

These are 2 separate coins. One looks bad, the other looks pretty good. Thanks so much! I appreciate your input!

Note that the five kings pictured are only those of the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg dynasty. The first king of modern Greece, Otto von Wittelsbach, son of Ludwig I of Bavaria, is not shown here.

Very interesting Publius! Thank you! I have a few Greek and other foreign coins, that I really know nothing about. I find them super pretty, but for now, I really haven't had any time to look into what I have and if they are of any value. Do you collect them? Any pointers for a novice that is just concentrating of US and Canadian coins?
