| Reverse description | Demeter, draped, standing left and riding in a biga drawn by two winged serpents, holds a long torch upright in her right hand. The serpents are rendered with sinuous, coiled bodies characteristic of provincial Greek bronze coinage. The ethnic legend ΑΜΟΡΙΑΝΩΝ is inscribed in the lower field and exergue, indicating the civic authority of Amorium, within a beaded border. |
