| Reverse description | On the reverse, an interpretation of the Greek myth of the Rapture of Europe by Zeus is reproduced. Europe was the beautiful daughter of Agenor and Telefasa, kings of Tire. Zeus fell for his beauty and decided to metamorphose into a bull, her favorite animal. When Europe saw the animal, it was mounted on its back. Taking advantage of this, Zeus launched himself into the sea and took her to Crete. |
