| Obverse description | Central motif depicting a sculptural relief of the Atlas figure (associated with Herakles in the myth of the Hesperides) shown from the torso upward, arms raised and hands supporting a heavy burden above, rendered in a bold modernist style. The design occupies the majority of the coin's field, conveying strength and classical mythological reference. The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ curves along the right periphery in Greek script, while the denomination 100 ΔΡΧ. appears in two lines to the lower right of the central figure. |
