| Reverse description | Demeter depicted standing facing, head turned to the left, rendered in a classical Greek hieratic style consistent with the sacred iconography of the deity at Argos. In her extended right hand she holds a poppy head, while her left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The reverse legend ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ (of the Argives) is placed in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The overall composition reflects the strong religious and civic traditions of Argos, where the cult of Demeter held particular significance. |
