| Obverse description | Detailed relief reproduction of the Phaistos Disc, depicting its characteristic spiral arrangement of pictographic symbols divided into segmented fields, radiating from the center to the outer edge. Two rectangular cartouches interrupt the rim at the top and bottom, bearing the legends. The entire design faithfully replicates the undeciphered Minoan script of the original artifact. |
