| Obverse description | Facing left, the idealized bare head of the nymph Terina rendered in fine archaic-to-early-classical Greek style, her hair elaborately arranged in flowing waves and drawn back, framing a delicate facial profile with a refined, slightly parted mouth and graceful neck. The portrait is unadorned by diadem or wreath, emphasizing the youthful naturalism characteristic of early Magna Graecia coinage. The design fills the flan with accomplished sculptural relief, reflecting the high artistic standards of Lucanian mint engravers of the period. |
