| Obverse description | Wreathed head of Kore (Persephone) facing left, rendered in fine Sicilian style with graceful, naturalistic features. The hair is elaborately dressed and secured beneath a grain wreath, with loose locks falling along the neck. A single grain ear is visible in the field behind the head, serving as an attribute emblematic of the goddess's chthonic and agricultural significance. The portrait displays the accomplished die-cutting characteristic of Syracusan bronzes of the early third century BC. |
