| Reverse description | A club surmounted by a winged caduceus occupies the central field, depicted vertically. The club, an attribute associated with Heracles — patron hero of Sparta — is shown with its characteristic knotted form, while the caduceus with its entwined serpents and wings rises from its top, combining Heraclean and Hermetic symbolism in a device emblematic of Lacedaemonian civic pride. The ethnic legend of the Lacedaemonians is distributed in the field around the central device. |
