Phoenix (currency)
The ''phoenix'' ((ギリシア語:φοίνιξ)) was the first currency of the modern Greek state. It was introduced in 1828 by Governor Ioannis Kapodistrias and was subdivided into 100 ''lepta''. The name was that of the mythical phoenix bird and was meant to symbolize the rebirth of Greece during the still ongoing Greek War of Independence. The ''phoenix'' replaced the Ottoman ''kuruş'' (called ''grosi'' γρόσι, plural γρόσια ''grosia'' by the Greeks) at a rate of 6 phoenixes = 1 ''kuruş''.
==Introduction==
The creation of a national currency was one of the most pressing issues for the newborn Greek state, so that the monetary chaos reigning in the country could subside. Prior to the phoenix's introduction, transactions were settled with a wide variety of coins, including the ''kuruş''; coins from major European states, such as France, Britain, Russia and Austria, were also popular. Therefore, minting the ''phoenix'' was one of Governor Kapodistrias' greatest priorities, and he signed a decree authorising it on 12 April 1828. The Russian government lent Kapodistrias' administration 1.5 million rubles to start the project.
