Obverse description Draped bust of Kore Soteira facing right, her hair elaborately arranged in loose waves and bound with a wreath of oak leaves, with curling tendrils falling behind the neck. The portrait is rendered in fine Hellenistic style with soft, idealised facial features, a straight nose, and a slightly parted mouth. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with the effigy well-centred and occupying much of the obverse field. No legend appears on the obverse.
