| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Phoenix rising from flames with wings spread wide, head raised upward toward a Greek cross in the upper field, symbolizing the rebirth of the Greek nation. The bird is rendered in bold relief with detailed feather work on the outstretched wings. The central motif is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circular legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΠΟΛΙΤΕΙΑ (Hellenic State) runs along the upper periphery between the beaded and outer borders, while the date in Greek minuscule numerals αωκα΄ (1821) appears along the lower border. |
