| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King George II facing left, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features and hair. The circular legend around the periphery reads ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ Β! ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ, identifying the king as George II, King of the Greeks. The commemorative date 25 ΝΟΕΜΒΡΙΟΥ 1935, referring to the restoration of the monarchy, appears along the lower arc of the coin. The portrait occupies a broad, unadorned field, characteristic of the restrained classical style employed for this pattern issue. |
