| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing left, the draped bust of Persephone rendered in fine Greek style, her hair bound with a wreath of grain leaves symbolizing her chthonic and harvest associations. She wears a triple-pendant earring and a necklace, with loose locks of hair falling about her neck. The portrait is executed with characteristic Lokrian artistic refinement, the facial features delicately modeled in high relief. No inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The hero Ajax strides vigorously to the right, depicted nude save for a crested Corinthian helmet, embodying the martial ideal of the Opuntian Lokrians who venerated him as a local hero. In his right hand he brandishes a short sword, while his left arm bears a large round shield whose interior is elaborately decorated with a griffin running right and a palmette, demonstrating the high quality of die engraving characteristic of this series. Below the figure, a bunch of grapes is depicted, and a broken spear lies on the ground line, alluding to the hero's tragic fate. The ethnic legend ΟΠΟΝΤΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing community of Opuntian Lokris. |
