Originally a Danish prince, George was only 17 years old when he was elected King by the Greek National Assembly, which had deposed the former King Otto.His nomination was both suggested and supported by the Great Powers (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Second French Empire and the Russian Empire).As the first monarch of the new Greek dynasty, his 50-year reign (the longest in modern Greek history) was characterized by territorial gains as Greece established its place in pre-World War I Europe.Two weeks short of the fiftieth anniversary of his accession, and during the First Balkan War, he was assassinated. In sharp contrast to his own reign, the reigns of his successors would prove short and insecure.============================Coat of arms of GreeceThe coat of arms of the Kigdom of Greece was the official symbol of the Greek state during the period of the monarchy (1832–1924 and 1935–1973). After Otto's fall, the young Prince William of Denmark was chosen as king, and the new coat of arms bears a strong resemblance to that of the Danish Royal Family. The central feature of the coat of arms remained a shield bearing the Greek national emblem of a white cross on a blue background. At the centre of the cross lies a shield with the dynastic arms of the Schleswing-Hilstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg family. The shield is topped with a crown and supported by two male figures, depicting the legendary Heracles. The ribbon and medal of the Order of the Redeemer are suspended from the shield. The banner at the bottom bears the dynasty's motto : Ἰσχύς μου ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ λαοῦ = "People's love, my strength". This emblem appeared on coins of the Kingdom, and official documents from at least 1880 until 1973, except for the period of the Second Hellenic Republic (1924–1935), and continues to be used by the former Greek Royal Family. ============================ See the scan (picture), shape your own opinion.You will take that you see in photographs of sale.============================ Payment instructions · All eBay methods ....
