| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a sweeping intaglio vignette of the ancient Greco-Roman theatre at Salamis, rendered in a warm violet-purple palette with the tiered stone seating and surrounding archaeological ruins set against a backdrop of trees and open sky. A bearded male head, likely a Classical or Hellenistic sculptural fragment, appears in a circular cartouche at the lower right, echoing the archaeological theme. Denomination numerals and the bank title in English frame the composition at top and bottom. |
