| Obverse description | At center, the Greek coat of arms rendered in color occupies the central field. To the left, a mastic tree (Pistacia lentiscus) is depicted with droplets of resin rendered as tears, symbolically dripping blood in reference to the massacre. The national legend arcs along the upper periphery, accompanied by the engraver's initials. The overall composition combines heraldic and allegorical elements in a style unique to this commemorative issue. |
