| Reverse description | Dynamic high-relief depiction of the mythological combat between the hero Theseus and the Minotaur, the bull-headed creature of Greek legend. Theseus is shown engaged in close battle with the beast, rendered with vivid musculature and dramatic tension. The background features an intricate labyrinthine pattern, referencing the legendary maze of Knossos in which the Minotaur was confined. Color application accentuates the scene, enhancing the visual contrast between the figures and the architectural maze motif. The denomination '£4' appears in the field in Latin script. |
