| Obverse description | Head of Persephone (or Kore) facing left, her flowing hair bound with a wreath of grain and adorned with a serpent, rendered in the fine Syracusan artistic tradition. The hair falls in long, sinuous locks across the neck and behind the ear. The facial features are delicately modeled, exhibiting the high artistic quality characteristic of late Hieronid-era coinage. The portrait is set within a plain border of fine dots. |
