| Obverse description | Central field features a raised rectangular panel rendered in relief, depicting two athletic figures in dynamic poses reminiscent of ancient Greek friezes, evoking classical antiquity in the context of sport. The date is split across the lower corners of the rectangular frame, reading '19' at left and '94' at right. The Greek legend 'ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ' (Hellenic Republic) curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 'ΔΡΑΧΜΕΣ 500' is inscribed in the lower field beneath the central panel. A decorative pellet border runs along the inner rim, with a small floral ornament at the base. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two volleyball players in vigorous action within a field of horizontal lines suggesting a court net: one player leaps to spike the ball while a second dives low to receive it. The dates '1895-1995' arc prominently across the upper field, commemorating the centennial of volleyball. The circular legend reads 'ΕΚΑΤΟΝΤΑΕΤΗΡΙΔΑ ΒΟΛΕΪ' at left and 'VOLLEYBALL CENTENNIAL' at right, running along the periphery. The FIVB (Fédération Internationale de Volleyball) logo with its distinctive interlocking rings and the inscription 'FIVB' appear in the lower exergue. |
