| Reverse description | A large cornucopia (horn of plenty) rendered in fine detail at centre, filled with abundant fruits including grapes and grain, and adorned with fillets hanging from its base. Two conical heaps, likely representing loaves or offerings, are placed symmetrically at either side of the horn. At the lower section, a small figure — possibly an eagle — is visible beneath the cornucopia's base. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΗΣ ΒΕΡΕΝΙΚΗΣ is arranged in two columns flanking the central device, reading outward, all within a beaded border. |
