| Reverse description | Diademed head of Satyra facing right in three-quarter profile, rendered in the severe style of early classical Greek coinage; the hair is gathered and tied in a bun at the nape of the neck, with strands carefully delineated. The letter A appears in the field behind the neck, likely serving as a die-cutter's control mark. The portraiture reflects the refined yet restrained aesthetic characteristic of South Italian Greek workshops of the early fifth century BC. |
