Coins in denominations from 50 lepta to 20 drachmae carried a portrait of <a href="/wiki/Paul_of_Greece" title="Paul of Greece">King Paul</a> (1947–1964).

A silver 30-drachma coin for the centennial of Greece's royal dynasty was minted in 1963. The following year a non-circulating coin of this value was produced to commemorate the royal wedding. The reverse of all coins was altered in 1971 to reflect the military junta which was in power from 1967 to 1974. This design included a soldier standing in front of the flames of the rising phoenix replacing the (royal) coat of arms and the date of the coup d'état, April 21, 1967. </p><p>A 20-drachma coin in cupro-nickel with an image of <a href="/wiki/Europa_(mythology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Europa (mythology)">Europa</a> on the obverse was issued in the first series of 1973, alongside unholed aluminium lepta coins (10 and 20 lepta). Following the abolition of the monarcy by the junta in June 1973, several new coin types were introduced: nickel-brass (50 lepta, 1 and 2 drachmae) and cupro-nickel (5, 10 and 20 drachmae). These coins carried the design of the phoenix rising from the flame on the obverse-but now without the soldier, a nod to the <i>"liberalization plan"</i> pursued by Papadopoulos, and used the country's new designation as the "Hellenic Republic", replacing the coins also issued in 1973 as the Kingdom of Greece with King Constantine II's portrait. </p><p>Following the downfall of the dictatorship, a new series of all 8 denominations was introduced in 1976 carrying images of Pericles, Democritus and Aristotle on the 20-, 10- and 5-drachma coins respectively and <a href="/wiki/Georgios_Karaiskakis" title="Georgios Karaiskakis">Georgios Karaiskakis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Konstantinos_Kanaris" title="Konstantinos Kanaris">Konstantinos Kanaris</a> and <a href="/wiki/Markos_Botsaris" title="Markos Botsaris">Markos Botsaris</a> on the 1-drachma, 2-drachma and 50-lepton coins respectively.

By 1990, the lepton as a subdivision had become practically obsolete and the drachma itself was now used for small change—the prices of sundries were in the hundreds; its size and weight had been reduced in 1988 from 21mm, 4.1 grams to 20mm, 2.75 grams.
