| Reverse description | The silver-toned inner disc depicts the mythological scene of the Abduction of Europa, showing the figure of Europa seated upon the back of Zeus in the form of a bull, rendered in dynamic relief. A large numeral 1 occupies the left portion of the inner field, accompanied by stylized arc lines suggestive of the Euro symbol. The gold-toned outer ring carries the trilingual legend EUROPA·EUROPE·ΕΥΡΩΠΗ arching along the upper circumference, and the word SPECIMEN inscribed along the lower arc in inverted orientation. |
