| Obverse description | A skeletal figure of Death straddles the sinking bow of the SS Athenia, holding a flaming torch in its left hand and a lit bomb in its right. The ship's name ATHENIA is inscribed across the hull in relief, with waves below, and the legend 4 SEPTEMBER 1939 arcs across the upper field alongside the engraver's signature GUIDO GOETZ in the lower right. |
