| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized composite design depicting a stag in the lower left field and a horse in the upper right, with a bow and arrow motif to the right, all rendered in a modern artistic interpretation evoking classical Greek imagery associated with Artemis. The Greek coat of arms — a quartered blue and white shield surmounted by an olive wreath — appears in the upper central field. The curved Greek legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ arcs along the upper left periphery, while the denomination 100 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed along the lower portion of the field. The entire design is framed by a decorative meander (Greek key) border running along the coin's rim. |

| Additional information |
Greece's "Artemis" gold issue is part of an ongoing Hellenic cultural series authorised through the Bank of Greece and produced at the Athens Mint. The 2023 date places it among the first Greek numismatic gold issues struck after the country's extended post-debt-crisis restructuring of state finances — a period during which the Athens Mint's commemorative output was sharply curtailed. The 3.89 g specification is not arbitrary; it tracks the modern quarter-troy-ounce bullion standard adapted for collector coinage, allowing alignment with international precious metal markets while retaining a face value denominated in euros.
