| Obverse description | Veiled and grain-wreathed head of Demeter facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with high relief. The veil falls in deeply incised parallel folds behind the head, while a wreath of wheat ears and grain clusters crowns the brow. The goddess's facial features are finely modelled, with a straight nose, serene expression, and carefully articulated ear adorned with a pendant earring. The field is plain and uninscribed, with the design filling the flan in the characteristic manner of late Hellenistic civic coinage. |
