| Obverse description | Central device depicts a helmeted soldier standing upright in full military attire, holding a rifle, set within the spread wings of a large eagle rendered in high relief — an emblem closely associated with the Greek military junta. Below the eagle, the date of the coup '21 ΑΠΡΙΛΙΟΥ 1967' (21 APRIL 1967) is inscribed across the field, with the bold numeral '20' beneath it flanked by decorative scrollwork. The denomination '• ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ •' appears along the lower legend, while the circular legend 'ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ' (KINGDOM OF GREECE) runs along the periphery in Greek script. The overall design reflects the iconographic style of the Colonels' regime, commemorating the date of their 1967 coup d'état. |
