| Reverse description | The reverse bears a left-facing portrait bust of Solon (ca. 638–558 BC), the celebrated Athenian statesman, lawgiver, and lyric poet, rendered in a classical style befitting his historical stature. The engraver's initials 'Β.Σ.' appear in the field, while the legend 'ΣΟΛΩΝ' is inscribed in Greek characters alongside the portrait, identifying the subject. The design draws upon ancient iconographic traditions to evoke the gravitas of one of the Seven Sages of ancient Greece. |
