| Obverse description | Diademed head of Demeter facing right, adorned with a triple-pendant earring and necklace rendered in fine relief characteristic of the Metapontine school. A cross-headed torch is visible in the field behind the goddess, serving as a secondary symbol associated with her chthonic and agrarian cult. The portraiture displays the refined Hellenistic style prevalent in Magna Graecia during the mid-fourth century BC, with carefully articulated facial features and elaborately styled hair gathered beneath the diadem. |
