| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Othon (Otto of Greece) facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair. The portrait displays a naturalistic, neoclassical style characteristic of mid-19th century French medallic art. The circular legend ΟΘΩΝ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ (OTHON KING OF GREECE) runs along the periphery in Greek characters, commencing at the lower left and terminating at the lower right of the coin. |
