Reverse description At the centre of the field, a left-facing Little Owl (Athene noctua) stands in profile, a motif directly inspired by the iconic ancient Athenian tetradrachm of the 5th century BC associated with the goddess Athena. The denomination numeral 1 appears to the left of the owl, with the Greek legend ΔΡΑΧΜΗ to the right, and the engraver's abbreviated signature Ν. ΠΕΡ. (Nikos Perantinos) positioned below. The reverse design consciously evokes classical Hellenic heritage through its reference to one of the most celebrated coin types of antiquity.
