| Reverse description | Kore (Persephone), the principal deity of Sardis, stands facing at centre, flanked on one side by an ear of grain and a poppy, her attributes as goddess of the harvest, and on the other by Dionysus standing to left, holding a cantharus extended over a panther at his feet and a thyrsus in his left hand. The composition reflects the syncretic religious identity of Sardis as a twice-neocorate city. A multi-line Greek legend surrounding the design records the name and titles of the local magistrate responsible for the issue. |
