| Obverse description | A classical Greek temple set atop a rocky mountain eminence, rendered in high relief with radiating sunbeams emanating from behind the structure, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The exergue bears the purity mark 'Ag999' and the mintmaster's mark 'XXI'. A Greek meander (key) pattern frames the entire design along the outer border. The surrounding legend arcs along the upper and lower periphery, with the date '2024' prominently displayed at the top of the central device. |

| Reverse description | Charon, the ferryman of Hades, depicted in dynamic high relief standing in his vessel upon the waters of the River Styx, his right hand grasping a long pole or staff used to propel the boat, while his left hand clutches coins — the traditional payment for passage to the underworld. Human skulls are visible at the base of the composition, evoking the realm of the dead. The figure is rendered in a detailed antiqued style consistent with classical mythological iconography. The inscription 'CHARON' appears as the principal legend on the reverse field. |
