| Obverse description | Central field depicts two figures in traditional Greek dress standing before a colonnade of ancient ruins, rendered in high relief against a polished background. The inscription ΕΛΛΑΣ appears in bold raised letters along the upper arc within the legend area. A ring of twelve five-pointed stars, enamelled in blue, encircles the design along the outer border, referencing the European Community. The composition evokes a neoclassical artistic style consistent with Greek commemorative and fantasy issues of the period. |
