From the El-Greco Collection of Modern Greek Rarities.

In the year 1836 the Athens Mint introduced three new denominations into circulation—namely, the 10, 5 and 2 Lepta. Notably, the 2 and 5 Lepta were produced in significantly lower mintages, rendering them, for numismatists, respectively rare and extremely rare. It is important to note that the 10 Lepta pieces bearing the same date was, in contrast, struck in substantial quantities during this period.
