| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, rendered in fine archaic-influenced style characteristic of Tarentine coinage. The goddess wears an Attic crested helmet with a tall, elaborately ridged crest and cheek guards, the visor raised to reveal her refined facial features. Locks of hair emerge from beneath the helmet, falling in careful waves behind the neck. The portrait is rendered in high relief with well-defined contours, reflecting the skilled die-cutting of the Tarentine mint's late Classical period. |
