newbie with coin from greece? 1863-1963

ok going thru all mom and dads coins came to a note telling me about a coin from greece the only coin i have found on the front has a date 1863 1963 and it shows the pictures of (my guess)past presidents all on what appears to be there own coin with different dates from1863 to 1963 between the dates there is what appears to be a royal crown. the back of this coins shows 30^P it has boats and fish and looks like a county . The side of the coin has edge lettering. i am getting ready to send in 8 to our hosts and since the quartely freebie is a world coin i thought this might be one to send. any info or links to a picture would be greatly appreciated. sorry no camera but its a really nice looking coin. thks

    It's not past presidents but past Kings. The boat and fish are the engraver's idea to mark the sea around this country. No disrespect, but didn't you do geography or grammar at school?
