| Obverse description | Left-facing helmeted bust of Athena, rendered in high relief in a classical Greek style, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a small owl perched at the apex. The neck is draped and the facial features are finely engraved with a serene, idealized profile. The surrounding legend, incuse in Latin, reads GRAECIA ANNO A CHR N CDXC PUGNA MARATHONIA VICIMUS, commemorating the Greek victory at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. The plain field provides a polished proof-like background that accentuates the sculptural quality of the design. |
