| Obverse description | Central field displays a phoenix with wings spread wide, rising in three-quarter view and facing right, surmounted by a Latin cross above its head, with rays of light radiating diagonally from the upper left — emblematic of Greece's national regeneration. The bird and cross are enclosed within a raised circular border. The peripheral legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΠΟΛΙΤΕΙΑ (Hellenic State) runs around the outer rim, separated by small floral ornaments at the top. The date in Greek minuscule numerals αωκα΄ (1821, referencing the year of the Greek War of Independence) appears at the base of the design within the border. |
