| Obverse description | Central device comprises the heraldic shield of the Kingdom of Greece, quartered with a bold Greek cross, surmounted by a royal crown rendered in fine relief. The shield is set within a plain field and framed by a beaded border running along the coin's rim. The circular legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ (Kingdom of Greece) is inscribed in Greek capitals, distributed around the periphery. The engraving is executed in a neoclassical style consistent with mid-nineteenth-century German die-cutting tradition. |
