| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed depiction of Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, shown in three-quarter view facing left, clad in a flowing draped mantle and wearing a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with ornamental scrollwork. She is shown carrying a round shield at her side. Superimposed in the lower left field is a gold-coloured inset relief replicating a classical Athenian tetradrachm, showing the helmeted head of Athena in profile, executed in an antique coin style with a contrasting gold-toned finish. An olive branch motif decorates the upper field background, while a Greek meander (key) border frames the entire design in gold tone. The inscription 'ATHENA' appears prominently in raised gold-coloured lettering across the upper left field. |
