An irregularly circular silver coin depicts the profile head of Kore facing to our right. Her wavy hair is pulled back and gathered at the nape. She has a large, heavily lidded eye, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The worn metallic surface features fine scratches and darkened recessed areas within the relief. The base of her neck tapers toward the bottom edge of the coin.
