| Obverse description | Facing right, the draped head of Demeter is rendered in fine archaic-classical style, adorned with a pendant earring and a simple necklace, her hair fully enclosed within a sakkos. The portraiture displays the refined engraving characteristic of Metapontine coinage of the early fourth century BC, with carefully detailed facial features and fabric folds at the neck. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. |
