| Obverse description | Draped bust of Kore-Soteira facing left, rendered in fine high relief in the accomplished style of the late Classical period. The goddess wears her hair elaborately coiffed and gathered at the nape of the neck, adorned with a floral ornament. The legend ΣΩΤΕΙΡΑ (Saviour) appears partially visible along the upper field, identifying the deity. The modelling of the facial features — delicate profile, well-defined brow, and softly articulated drapery at the shoulder — reflects the sophisticated engraving tradition of Mysian Kyzikos. |
