Revers:
The Lion Gate was the main entrance of the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae, southern Greece. It was erected during the XIII century BC in the northwest side of the acropolis and is named after the relief sculpture of two lionesses in a heraldic pose that stands above the entrance. The Lion Gate is the sole surviving monumental piece of Mycenaean sculpture, as well as the largest sculpture in the prehistoric Aegean.
