| Reverse description | The field is dominated by two large stylised chessboard patterns in the upper left and lower left, rendered in a geometric, modernist style. At upper left, a combined chess-piece emblem depicting a rook and knight serves as the official logo of the 28th Chess Olympiad, surmounted by the five Olympic rings. To the lower right, an anthropomorphic owl mascot — a reference to the owl of Athena, symbol of wisdom — is depicted in a playful, cartoonish style. The multi-line Greek legend at centre reads '28H ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΔΑ ΣΚΑΚΙΟΥ' with 'ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ 1988' inscribed across the middle field. |
