| Obverse description | Draped bust of Demeter facing right, her hair bound in a wreath of barley ears rendered in fine relief, characteristic of the mature Metapontine die-cutting tradition. The goddess wears a triple-pendant earring and a pearl necklace, both depicted with considerable delicacy. The magistrate's mark ΔI appears in the field, likely identifying the issuing official responsible for this emission. The portraiture displays the refined Hellenistic style typical of the later Metapontine coinage, with careful attention to facial modeling and drapery detail. |
