| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed relief view of the vaulted stone entrance tunnel (krypte esodos) leading into the ancient Olympic stadium at Olympia, rendered in a realistic engraving style that emphasizes the massive ashlar masonry of the arched passageway and flanking walls. Ancient column bases and architectural fragments are visible in the foreground at the base of the composition. The date 2000 appears in the lower central field. The legend ΑΡΧΑΙΑ ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑ (Ancient Olympia) arcs across the upper periphery, while ΤΟ ΣΤΑΔΙΟ (The Stadium) is inscribed along the lower periphery. |
