| Obverse description | Draped bust of a youthful deity, most likely Hera or a nymph associated with the sanctuary at Olympia, facing right in three-quarter profile. The hair is elaborately dressed, secured beneath a stephane or tainia, with loose wavy locks falling to the neck and adorned with a single pendant earring visible at the ear. The facial features are rendered in a fine late Classical style, with a delicate profile, almond-shaped eye, and gently parted lips. The neck is draped, and the overall treatment of the portrait reflects the refined engraving tradition of the Elean mint during the fourth century BC. |
