| Obverse description | Head of Hera in right profile, rendered in archaic Greek style with fine linear engraving. The goddess is adorned with an elaborate stephane (diadem crown) set with a floral or rosette ornament, and her hair falls in carefully incised, striated locks behind the ear. A pendant earring is visible at the lobe, adding refined decorative detail to the portrait. The facial features exhibit the characteristic frontality and stylized naturalism of early Classical Peloponnesian coinage. |
