| Obverse description | Cista mystica depicted in three-quarter perspective at center, with a serpent emerging and coiling over the lid, rendered in high relief. The entire central device is enclosed within a lush encircling ivy wreath, its leaves and berries rendered with careful naturalistic detail. The composition is characteristic of the Cistophoric coinage tradition, emphasizing the sacred Dionysiac imagery associated with the mystic basket. No legend appears on the obverse field. |
