In English an "error" is a mistake somewhere in the coin's minting process. The way the shapes changed and what not look more like "die varieties". As the dies wear down someone touches them up causing little differences like you found here.

Are these your pictures? Is there a standard Greek variety book or are you finding all these and documenting them yourself? If the latter very impressive!

Yes, of course these are mine pictures and mine coins.
No, there are not exist registered varieties by the National Bank of Greece, for these coins!

* I have put some of them in my ebay auctions
