| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, the cheekpieces raised. The goddess's facial features are rendered in the typical South Italian Greek style, with the neck and lower drapery visible below. The field shows characteristic olive-green patination consistent with the bronze fabric of this Lucaniari mint. |
