| Obverse description | At center, a frontal-facing owl perched upon a bare branch is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, evoking the classical Athenian tetradrachm tradition. The bird's plumage is finely detailed, with the talons gripping the branch prominently. Surrounding the central device is a textured border interspersed with twelve five-pointed stars, referencing the European Community. The Greek legend ΕΥΡΩΠΗ ΕΛΛΑΣ (Europe - Hellas) is inscribed along the upper portion of this border in Greek characters. |
