With the Royal Decree of Otto of February 8, 1833, the palm tree was replaced by the drachma and in August 1833 the acceptance of Turkish coins from public coffers was explicitly forbidden. By the same decree, the new coins were divided into three categories: silver, gold and bronze. At the same time, the capital was moved from Nafplio to Athens to make the symbolic connection with the glorious ancient past. The Royal Mint of Athens was inaugurated in 1836, but until 1841 only bronze subdivisions of the drachma were minted there. The minting of silver coins began in 1842. Only large denominations of 20 and 40 drachmas were minted in gold and in a limited edition. By Royal Decree of July 12, 1843, the exclusive right to issue banknotes was given to the newly established National Bank of Greece, which maintained this privilege until 1928, when the Bank of Greece was established.
