| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved bust-length effigy of the Venus de Milo, the celebrated ancient Greek marble sculpture, depicted in three-quarter view facing left. The figure is rendered partially draped below the waist, with the armless torso and classically styled coiffure faithfully reproduced in high relief. A beaded inner border frames the design, and the inscription VENUS DE MILO is distributed around the periphery in spaced capital letters following the curve of the coin. |
