Historical Significance

This coin was issued to commemorate the royal wedding of King Constantine II of Greece and Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark, which took place on September 18, 1964. It is one of the few coins issued during the short reign of King Constantine II before the monarchy was abolished in Greece.

Estimated Value

The estimated value can range from $15 to $50, depending on its condition (uncirculated coins will be at the higher end of the range).

Care Instructions

To preserve the coin's value and appearance, handle it by the edges, preferably with cotton gloves. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an archival-safe holder like a flip, slab, or capsule, to protect it from environmental damage and physical wear. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its numismatic value.
