| Reverse description | A detailed cartographic relief map of Greece occupies the central field, depicting the mainland and the Aegean island chains with regional inscriptions including ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ, ΘΡΑΚΗ, and ΚΡΗΤΗ. A small sailing vessel is rendered in low relief to the lower left of the map, evoking Greece's maritime heritage. The denomination '30 ΔΡ.' is prominently displayed in the lower central field below the map. The circular legend 'ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ' (Kingdom of Greece) runs along the outer rim. The engraver's signature, S. Falireas, appears in the right field. |
