The shield is flanked on either side by symmetrical olive branches whose stems meet at the base. Below a horizontal line, the denomination '1/2 ΔΡΑΧΜΗ' appears to the lower left and centre, with the date '1834' and mint letter 'A' (Paris Mint) inscribed in the exergue. A toothed border runs along the coin's rim. |
