| Obverse description | Draped bust of Persephone facing left, her flowing hair adorned with a wreath of grain ears, rendered in the naturalistic style characteristic of Magna Graecia coinage of the early third century BC. A single grain of corn is depicted in the field behind the head, serving as an attribute identifying the goddess. The portrait is set within a plain circular border, with fine engraving detail visible in the hair and facial features. |

The ethnic legend ΛOKPON is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Lokroi Epizephyrioi, the whole composition reflecting the strong Hellenistic artistic tradition of the region. |
