Reverse description Youthful female head facing right, depicted wearing a stephane (stephanos) headband, rendered in fine low relief within a shallow incuse square. The hair is neatly arranged and swept back, with delicate curls framing the forehead, consistent with the idealized feminine portraiture of early fourth-century Greek coinage. The bust is truncated at the neck. The incuse square border is clearly defined, a hallmark of the Mytilenean electrum hekte series, and the field within is plain and uninscribed.
