🎨 Design Details:
The obverse features a beautifully engraved portrait of a young Greek woman wearing traditional regional bridal attire, set against complex, multi-colored guilloche security patterns. The reverse is a true numismatic work of art, displaying a magnificent, sweeping view of the Acropolis of Athens alongside a classical bust of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare.
