Date of stamp issue

This could actually be one of the first Greek stamps issued in 1861, which was exactly the green 5-lepta stamp with the "large Hermes" design. At the moment, a similar stamp (GREECE Scott number 11 stamp) can be seen on eBay:

If the colours are correct, it is one of the last issues, after 1880. They were printed using the same plates as the 1861 issue, but on different paper.
