| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold left-facing bust of Pericles, the celebrated Athenian statesman, rendered in high relief after the famous marble bust attributed to Kresilas. He is depicted helmeted, with the visor raised above the forehead, his curly beard and hair rendered with fine detailing. The legend ΠΕΡΙΚΛΗΣ (Pericles) is inscribed in old-style Greek lettering along the upper left field. The bust occupies the majority of the coin's surface, set against a plain field with no exergue. |
