| Beschrijving keerzijde | Demeter, clad in long chiton and himation, stands facing left in a dignified frontal pose, her weight borne on her left leg. In her extended right hand she holds a poppy and two ears of grain, while her left hand grasps a long lit torch, emblematic of her role as goddess of the harvest and the Eleusinian Mysteries. The figure is rendered in the stiff, provincial style typical of Lydian civic bronzes of the Antonine period. The ethnic legend of the issuing city of Blaundus appears in the field, partially illegible due to wear and flan irregularity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Blaundus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under the Antonines is poorly documented and survives in small numbers. The reading of the ethnic on this issue remains disputed — the partially illegible legend has generated more than one proposed restoration among specialists, none yet conclusive. Attribution to the Sardis conventus is secure, but the city's output was modest enough that individual dies are rarely matched across more than a handful of specimens.
