You have a c.1976-1988 Greece 20 Drachmes. The obverse shows a the front of an ancient Greek structure with 4 columns. The legend around is in Greek and reads transliterated with Latin Characters as, “Ellenike Demokratid” or Democratic Greece. The reverse shows a helmeted head of Pericles facing left.
