| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right in fine three-quarter relief, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back to reveal her face, adorned with a prominent crest and decorative laurel or olive wreath at the brow. Her facial features are rendered with calm, idealized beauty typical of early Classical Greek coin portraiture, with wavy locks of hair escaping beneath the helmet on either side. The field to the right bears the letter alpha (A), the initial of the issuing city Ambrakia, serving as the civic ethnic. The overall style reflects the high artistic standards of western Greek minting of the early fourth century BC. |
