| Obverse description | Veiled and draped bust of Demeter facing right, her head crowned with a wreath of grain ears; to the right of the bust, two additional ears of grain stand upright in the field. The legend encircling the obverse identifies the issuing city. The portraiture is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of the Decapolis and Arabia region under the Antonine dynasty. |
