| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing figure of Kore (Persephone) depicted facing right, holding a long torch in one hand and an uncertain object — possibly a poppy, pomegranate, or patera — in the other. To her right stands a veiled figure of Demeter, facing left, holding two ears of grain and a long torch, emblematic of the chthonic and agrarian cult celebrated at Odessos. The reverse legend ΟΔΗϹϹΕΙΤΩΝ, denoting the civic authority of the Odessitans, is disposed around the figural group. The composition reflects the importance of the Demeter-Kore mystery cult in the religious life of this Black Sea colonial city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Odessos, the Greek colonial city on the Black Sea coast of Moesia — modern Varna in Bulgaria — retained the right to strike civic bronze under Roman rule, a privilege extended to relatively few Moesian cities. These local issues served everyday low-value exchange in a region where imperial bronze rarely penetrated in sufficient quantity. The city had a long pre-Roman tradition of autonomous coinage stretching back to the fourth century BC.
The reign of Antoninus Pius saw a notable expansion of provincial bronze output across the Danubian frontier zone, likely connected to increased military garrisoning along the limes.
