| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-length figure of the goddess Artemis in profile, striding to the right and drawing a bow, clad in a flowing chiton rendered with fine drapery detail. She wears a diadem and her hair is tied up, capturing the classical ideal of the divine huntress. The legend ΑΡΤΕΜΙΣ arcs along the left periphery and ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΜΥΘΟΛΟΓΙΑ curves along the upper right, with the date 2023 and the engraver's initials appearing in the lower central field. A small floral ornament serves as a decorative divider beside the date. The design is framed by a meander border consistent with that of the obverse. |

| Additional information |
Greece's "Artemis" gold issue is part of an ongoing Hellenic cultural series authorised through the Bank of Greece and produced at the Athens Mint. The 2023 date places it among the first Greek numismatic gold issues struck after the country's extended post-debt-crisis restructuring of state finances — a period during which the Athens Mint's commemorative output was sharply curtailed. The 3.89 g specification is not arbitrary; it tracks the modern quarter-troy-ounce bullion standard adapted for collector coinage, allowing alignment with international precious metal markets while retaining a face value denominated in euros.
