Reverse description The reverse depicts a colorized full-figure representation of Philo's Automatic Maidservant, an ancient Greek programmable automaton described in Hellenistic mechanical treatises, rendered in warm amber, brown, and red tones at center. The figure is shown standing and draped, holding a vessel, with visible internal mechanical components exposed at the torso in a stylized cross-section manner. The background field is filled with the same intricate low-relief pattern of gears, chains, and mechanical motifs as the obverse, conveying the theme of ancient technology. The legend ΑΡΧΑΙΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΤΕΧΝΟΛΟΓΙΑ arcs along the upper border, with Η ΑΥΤΟΜΑΤΗ ΘΕΡΑΠΑΙΝΙΔΑ along the lower border; the date 2023 and the mint mark ΣTAM appear in the left field.
