| Obverse description | Left-facing helmeted bust of Athena rendered in high relief, wearing a crested Attic helmet with elaborate plume and cheek guards, her hair flowing in braided strands beneath the rim of the helmet. A small owl of Athena, the classical Athenian symbol, stands facing in the upper left field, with the date 1960 inscribed below it. The peripheral legend reads in Latin: GRAECIA ANNO A CHR N CDXC PUGNA MARATHONIA VICIMUS, commemorating the 2,490th anniversary of the Greek victory at the Battle of Marathon. The field displays a polished proof finish contrasting with the finely detailed sculptural relief. |
