| Reverse description | Head of Athena facing left, helmeted with a Corinthian-style crested helmet pushed back on the head, revealing wavy locks of hair cascading across the neck and shoulders. The goddess's facial features are rendered in a refined early Classical style, with a composed profile displaying a well-defined eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. A small aryballos (oil flask) is depicted behind the neck, serving as an additional civic symbol. The reverse is struck in incuse square, with the design sunk into the flan as is characteristic of early Corinthian-tradition coinage. The field is smooth and unlettered. |
