Crusader states coins

During the 4th Crusade (1202-1204), part of the Byzantine Empire was occupied by the Crusaders, who founded the Latin Empire, the Kingdom of Thessalonica, the Duchy of Athens, the Duchy of Achaia and the Seignory of Negroponte.
Thessalonica and the Latin Empire were recaptured by the Greeks in 1261. Crusader heirs continued to rule in Athens and the Peloponnese until these lands were conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century.

Coins of Greece

The first Greek monarchy was established by the Treaty of Constantinople of 1832, which guaranteed Greece's independence from the Ottoman Empire, and existed until March 25, 1924, when the Second Hellenic Republic was proclaimed.
The monarchy was restored on November 3, 1935 in a coup d'état.
In 1967, after the military junta of "black colonels" came to power, King Constantine II left the country. Formally, Greece continued to be considered a kingdom, and a regent was appointed.
On December 8, 1974, as a result of a referendum, the monarchy was abolished and Greece became a republic again.
