| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of the young King Othon facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed wavy hair, the truncation of the neck resting above the lower border. The circular Greek legend reads ΟΘΩΝ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ (Othon King of Greece), distributed around the periphery. The engraver's signature Κ. ΦΟΙΓΤ (K. Voigt) appears incuse in small capitals below the neck truncation near the lower field. The portrait is executed in the neoclassical style characteristic of Voigt's Munich workshop, with a smooth, open field framing the effigy. |
