| Obverse description | Wreathed head of Kore (Persephone) facing left, her hair elaborately rendered with fine engraved strands bound by a wreath, set within a beaded border. The portrait is executed in the late Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Syracusan bronze coinage under Roman rule, with softened facial features and a slightly downcast gaze. No legend appears in the field. |
