| Obverse description | Head of Persephone (or Kore) facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with softly modeled features, wearing a diadem and an earring; her elaborately wavy hair is bound by a broad fillet and gathered at the nape, with delicate curls framing the face. A small eight-pointed star appears behind the neck, serving as a control mark. The portrait displays the refined artistic tradition of Syracusan coinage, with high-relief modeling and attention to naturalistic detail. |
