| Reverse description | Facing frontal head of a lion with open jaws, displaying a full mane rendered in detailed radiating strokes and bared teeth in a fierce expression. Four barley grains are arranged in the field around the lion's head, referencing the agricultural wealth of the region. The ethnic legend ΛΕΟΝΤΙΝΟΝ is distributed among the four quadrants of the field, reading between the barley grains, all within a beaded border. |
