| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a detailed depiction of an ancient Greek trireme under full sail, shown in profile sailing to the right across stylized waves, rendered in crisp relief against a darkened field. The vessel's characteristic ram prow, single mast with a large square sail, and oar banks are clearly articulated. The design is enclosed within a prominent Greek meander (key pattern) border following the hexagonal shape of the flan. The denomination '500 Δραχμή' (500 Drachmas) is inscribed in large characters in the lower exergue, with the numeral '500' preceding the Greek denomination legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Icaria's reputation for longevity — the island consistently ranks among the world's "Blue Zones," where residents routinely live past ninety — made it a natural subject for a regional commemorative issue. Whether that association drove the selection here is unconfirmed, but the island is better known internationally for its demographics than its ancient history as the mythological crash site of Icarus.
The 500 Drachmai denomination is purely notional; Greece abandoned the drachma for the euro in 2002.
