| Reverse description | Demeter standing facing, head veiled and turned to the left, her figure rendered in the draped style typical of Bithynian provincial bronzes. She holds ears of grain in her right hand and a long torch in her left, attributes emblematic of her role as goddess of the harvest and fertility. The ethnic legend ΠΡΟΥϹΑΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Prusa ad Olympum. The reverse field exhibits heavy patination and surface encrustation consistent with the obverse, though the principal design elements remain discernible. |
