| Obverse description | Wreathed head of Demeter facing left, rendered in archaic-to-early classical Greek style. The goddess is depicted with a grain wreath encircling her hair, a traditional attribute identifying her as the deity of the harvest. The portrait fills much of the flan, with softly modelled facial features characteristic of early Messenian bronze coinage. The surface shows typical die wear consistent with hammered bronze issues of the period. |
