| Reverse description | A detailed and finely engraved view of the Parthenon, the ancient Doric temple on the Acropolis of Athens, dominates the central field, depicted from a three-quarter perspective that emphasizes the colonnaded facade and ruined entablature set upon its stepped stylobate. The architectural rendering captures the grandeur and worn grandeur of the ancient monument with considerable sculptural relief. The legend 'PARTHENON' arcs across the upper field in bold serif capitals, while the date '1995' is inscribed in the lower exergue. The highly polished proof fields contrast sharply with the intricately detailed temple design. |
