| Reverse description | Heroic high-relief depiction of Leonidas I, King of Sparta, shown in three-quarter view dominating the central field. He is clad in ornate gilded muscle armour and a flowing cloak, wielding a short sword and bearing a large round hoplon shield decorated with a Greek meander (key) border and a lambda device, both rendered with selective gold gilding. Flanking him on either side stand armoured Spartan warriors wearing Corinthian helmets, also with selective gilding, set against an architectural backdrop of classical Greek columns and decorative friezes. The name LEONIDAS is inscribed in raised Latin lettering along the upper arc of the field. |
