| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief depiction of the hero Perseus rendered as a bearded male figure occupying the left portion of the field, his face shown in three-quarter view with deeply sculpted features and flowing beard. To the right, Perseus extends his arm upward, holding aloft the severed head of Medusa, whose serpentine hair and agonized expression are rendered with classical sculptural precision. A smaller figure, interpreted as Andromeda, is depicted in the lower right in a graceful contrapposto pose. The legend 'MEDUSA'S HEAD' and the date '2021' are inscribed in the upper right field. |
