| Reverse description | Demeter, the goddess of grain and harvest, depicted standing to the left in flowing robes. In her outstretched right hand she holds ears of corn extended over a small lighted altar, while her left hand bears a long torch held upright. The composition is characteristic of Demetrian cult imagery widespread in the cities of Mysia, reflecting the agricultural and religious significance of the deity to the local community of Perperene. |
