| Reverse description | Vignette adapted from the Minoan gold Vaphio Cups (circa 1450–1500 BC), presenting a sequence of bull-hunting scenes: a bull caught in a net, a bull tossing a hunter, and a bull being led captive. The composition is executed in detailed intaglio engraving, reflecting the Minoan artistic tradition of the Late Bronze Age Aegean. Denomination numerals and the Bank of Greece title appear at the margins, with the printer's imprint at the lower border. |
