| Obverse description | Facing head of a nymph or deity rendered in fine early Classical style, her hair flowing in elaborate wavy locks framing the face on either side and falling across the shoulders. She wears a stephane or diadem adorned with figural ornaments, including what appears to be a griffon or serpent protome at the apex, and a beaded necklace is visible at the base of the neck. The visage is presented frontally with a slight three-quarter turn, displaying large almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and slightly parted lips characteristic of the severe to early Classical transitional style. The entire design is set within a fine beaded border. The high-relief modeling and carefully rendered curling tresses reflect the accomplished die-engraving tradition of Campanian coinage. |
