| Reverse description | A front-facing owl occupies the central field, closely modelled after the owl design found on ancient Athenian silver tetradrachms. An olive branch (Olea europaea) appears at the upper left, also set with a chista jasper inset. The abbreviated Greek legend at right replicates the inscription found on the classical prototype. |
