1964 Greek Coin

[Rich Hartford]

I thought the coin I found today was Russian but upon closer examination and some research it turned out to be a silver 1964 30 Drachma coin commemorating the wedding of the King and Queen. It is the exact size of a half dollar.
Supposed to be worth between 15.00-50.00 dollars.

Don't have the equiptment to post a pic but here is a decription

Same size as a half dollar

The lettering is in the cyrillic alphabet but I can figure out that it says "Constantine & Anna Maria. King and Queen on front. The obverse shows a 2 headed eagle with a crown between the two heads. The year 1964 is around the edge, and 30 whatevers is on the bottom.

The edge of the coin is not reeded but has raised cyrillic writing.
