| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Demeter, draped in a long chiton and himation, striding briskly to the right, her arms extended and holding a flaming torch in each hand. The goddess is depicted in a dynamic, advancing posture emblematic of her role as bearer of sacred torches in the Eleusinian tradition. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is disposed in the field to either side of the figure, identifying the coin as a civic issue of Cyzicus. |
