| Reverse description | Demeter stands facing in the center of the field, draped in a long chiton and himation, her arms outstretched as she holds a long transverse torch diagonally across the field. The goddess is depicted in the classical standing pose associated with her role as deity of the grain harvest. The circular Greek legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ runs around the periphery, with the characteristic local variant of the zeta rendered in a form resembling the Japanese katakana character エ, a distinctive epigraphic feature of Cyzicene coinage. |
