| Reverse description | A full-length depiction of the Colossus of Rhodes dominates the central field, rendered as a colossal male figure with a radiate crown, standing astride two stone plinths set amid stylized ocean waves, with mountainous landmasses visible in the background. The figure is shown in a frontal pose, bare-chested, with muscular anatomy rendered in fine relief. The date '2008' appears to the right of the figure in the mid-field. The legend 'COLOSSE DE RHODES' arcs along the upper border, flanked by six small star ornaments on each side, while 'MERVEILLES DU MONDE DE L'ANTIQUITÉ' curves along the lower border, all in raised Latin lettering against a darkened recessed field. |
