| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene from the ancient archaeological site of Messini, showing a fallen or leaning architectural column fragment set against a course of ancient ashlar masonry blocks rendered in high relief against a dark field. A small fleur-de-lis mint mark appears in the upper center of the field. The curved legend 'ΑΡΧΑΙΑ ΜΕΣΣΗΝΗ' (Ancient Messini) arcs across the upper portion of the coin, and the date '2020' is inscribed at the bottom in the exergue area. |
