| Reverse description | Facing gorgoneion rendered in fine, expressive style filling the entire die field. The gorgon's broad, symmetrical face is depicted en face with wide staring eyes, a prominent flattened nose, and an open mouth with protruding tongue and bared teeth — characteristic apotropaic features of the archaic-to-classical Gorgon type. Wavy locks of hair radiate from the crown of the head, adorned with a row of pellets along the upper hairline, lending the image a deeply menacing and monumental quality despite the small module of the coin. |
