| Reverse description | A dynamic battle scene commemorating the Greek resistance to the Italian invasion of 28 October 1940 fills the field. Two Greek soldiers in full military uniform are depicted flanking a horse that pulls an artillery field gun at full gallop, with mountainous terrain and aircraft silhouetted in the background. The composition conveys urgency and patriotic valor in high relief. The inscription 28Η ΟΚΤΩΒΡΙΟΥ 1940 is engraved along the lower periphery, flanked by decorative floral ornaments. |
