| Obverse description | Prow of a warship (galley) depicted in profile to the left, rendered with characteristic archaic detail including the curved stempost and oar arrangement. The legend ΔΗΜΗ above and ΤΡΙΕΩΝ below frames the prow within the flan, serving as the civic ethnic of Demetrias. The design is boldly struck in the hammered tradition, with the prow occupying the majority of the field. |
