| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right-facing profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back to reveal the face, with flowing wavy locks of hair descending beneath the helmet rim. In the left field, a small figure of Ares or a warrior stands in a dynamic pose, striding left with arm raised and wielding a weapon, rendered in fine incuse detail against the flat field. The composition reflects the high artistic quality of Ambrakian coinage in the mid-fourth century BC, combining the iconic Athena type common to the Corinthian monetary sphere with a distinctive local reverse type. The fields are smooth and the relief is crisp, consistent with a well-preserved die of this emission. |
