| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right in high relief, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back to reveal her face, with hair rendered in fine wavy locks falling to the nape of the neck. The letter A (for Ambrakia) appears on the neck guard of the helmet, serving as the civic ethnic of the issuing city. A gorgoneion — a frontal apotropaic Gorgon mask with serpentine details — is depicted in the left field. The portrait displays the refined artistic conventions of early Classical Greek die-cutting, with confident, delicate facial features. |
