| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic commemorative scene depicting the Battle of Crete of May 1941. In the central field, two Cretan resistance fighters are shown in traditional dress, one raising the Greek national flag defiantly above rocky terrain, evoking the popular resistance against the German airborne invasion. To the left, parachuting German paratroopers descend amid waves of stylized sea or smoke, while aircraft are visible in the upper right field. The outline map of Crete appears in the lower right. The curved legend 80 ΧΡΟΝΙΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΜΑΧΗ ΤΗΣ ΚΡΗΤΗΣ arcs along the upper border, and the dates 1941-2021 are inscribed in the lower exergue. The engraver's signature is visible at the lower left of the inner field. |
