Reverse description Demeter depicted standing to the left in full figure, clad in long robes, holding a bundle of ears of corn in one hand and a tall torch in the other, rendered in the classical Hellenistic tradition common to Ionian civic bronzes. The legend naming the local strategos is distributed around the field, identifying the magistrate responsible for the issue. The reverse exhibits considerable surface encrustation consistent with the coin's overall condition, though the standing figure and attributes remain discernible. The composition reflects Clazomenae's close association with agricultural deities and Demeter's cult in the region.
