| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left in high relief, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the crown of the head, its cheekpieces raised to reveal the goddess's finely modelled facial features. The hair falls in short locks beneath the helmet brim. An octopus, rendered with characteristic tentacles splayed outward, appears as a subsidiary symbol behind the head in the right field, serving as a secondary ethnic or magistrate's badge. |
