Hi Sonja, There were 12 million of these copper-nickel Greek 5 Drachmai coins minted that year featuring King Constantine II (1964-73). Collector value may be worth about .10 with heavy wear to around .25 with moderate wear to maybe $1 with light wear to perhaps $6 if uncirculated (no wear).
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
