| Obverse description | The obverse of the nickel-brass centre features a finely modelled left-facing portrait bust of Nikos Kazantzakis, the celebrated Greek author, rendered in high relief with detailed engraving of his facial features and collar. The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ (Hellenic Republic) arcs along the upper left field, with the date 2017 positioned to the upper right and the honoree's name ΝΙΚΟΣ ΚΑΖΑΝΤΖΑΚΗΣ inscribed along the lower left field. A small fleur-de-lis mintmark of the Athens Mint appears to the left of the portrait, and the engraver's initials are incuse in the lower right field. The copper-nickel outer ring carries the standard twelve five-pointed stars of the European Union evenly spaced around the circumference. |
