| Obverse description | A central round hole is surrounded by a symmetrical olive wreath, its branches meeting at the base of the design. A royal crown surmounts the hole at the top, rendered in fine relief with detailed beading and arches. The circular legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ (Kingdom of Greece) runs along the upper periphery, while the date appears in the lower field flanked by dot stops. The overall composition is clean and heraldic in character, typical of mid-twentieth-century Greek coinage. |
