| Obverse description | Six relief portrait heads of endangered Greek fauna are arranged in a circular pattern around the central field: a Mediterranean monk seal (upper left), a brown bear (upper centre), a griffon vulture (upper right), a freshwater fish (lower left), a nose-horned viper (lower right), and a red deer (lower centre). The Greek national coat of arms — a white cross on a blue shield within a laurel wreath — appears at the centre, flanked by the legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ in Greek script arranged around it. The composition is rendered in high relief with finely detailed textures on each animal portrait. |
