| Obverse description | Central field depicts Mount Olympus shrouded in clouds, rendered in high relief with dramatic sculptural depth. The design is framed by a laurel wreath border and an ornamental Greek key (meander) pattern running along the inner rim. The overall composition evokes classical Hellenic artistic tradition, with the mountainous landscape occupying the full field. |

| Reverse description | High-relief depiction of Heracles (Hercules) as a powerful, muscular, bearded figure dominating the central field, shown in a three-quarter frontal pose with wind-swept hair. He wears the skin of the Nemean lion draped over his left shoulder, its head visible at upper left with bared fangs, while a second heroic scene is visible in low relief at the right. His right forearm bears a selectively gilt armband decorated with a classical palmette motif, rendered in 24-karat gold plating. A Greek meander (key) border frames the lower rim, and a chain-link decorative border encircles the outer edge. The legend HERACLES arcs along the lower portion of the field in bold incuse Latin letters. |
