背面描述	Standing figure of Demeter, turned to the left, rendered in full length in the provincial Greek style. The goddess holds two ears of corn in one hand and a long sceptre in the other, attributes emblematic of her role as deity of grain and fertility. The ethnic legend ΖΑΚΥΝΘΙωΝ is disposed around the figure in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of the island of Zacynthus. The reverse type reflects the agricultural importance of the island and its traditional devotion to Demeter.

附加信息	Zacynthus struck bronze coinage autonomously under Roman imperial oversight, with the legend ΖΑΚΥΝΘΙωΝ asserting civic identity at a moment when many Achaean communities were leaning harder into imperial flattery than local nomenclature. Under Marcus Aurelius, such civic issues from the Greek provinces became notably more assertive — his philosophical disposition and genuine respect for Greek culture appear to have given municipalities modest latitude in how they framed their loyalty. The island's relatively limited output during this reign makes survivors scarce outside major collections.
