| Obverse description | Central field depicts a scene from Homer's Iliad: a bearded warrior in full military attire, armed with a spear, stands facing right and extends his hand toward a draped female figure — representing the abduction of Briseis. The figures are rendered in a classical relief style inspired by ancient Greek vase painting. The Greek legend Η ΑΡΠΑΓΗ ΤΗΣ ΒΡΙΣΗΙΔΑΣ (The Abduction of Briseis) arcs along the upper field. The denomination 100 ΕΥΡΩ appears in the lower exergue. Designed by Leda Pavli. |
