The Greek design is a portrait of Rigas Feraios (1757–1798), a writer and revolutionary. Feraios was an eminent figure of Greek Enlightenment and was the first victim of the uprising against the Ottoman Empire. His name in Greek is shown below the portrait and to the right is the denomination in Greek with the year to the left.

Sign of Athens Mint (stylized acanthus leaf) stands on all coins of Greece, regardless of the origin of the coins.

Engravers: Perikles Sotiriou, Georgios Stamatopoulos (ΓΣ)

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the left side of the coin.

12 stars are located on the left side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Belgian Mint, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “0” in “10.”
