Ioannis Kapodistrias was elected the first governor of modern Greece in 1827, and used his diplomatic prowess to secure Greece’s recognition as an independent state and obtain further territorial gains. He laid the foundations of the modern Greek state, establishing its first administrative, economic and military structures and promoting education, agriculture and the crafts.

He was assassinated on September 27, 1831, in Nafplio by Konstantinos Mavromichalis and his nephew Georgios Mavromichalis. The pair shot and stabbed him on the steps of St. Spyridon Church to seek revenge for the imprisonment of their relative, Petrobey Mavromichalis.

The coin comes delivered encapsulated in a wooden box with a Certificate of Authenticity.
