The front (obverse) of this coin depicts the head of goddess Persephone (Kara) facing right with a corn wreath; a pendant earring and the inscription KOPΑΣ at Ieft (very worn). There is a dotted border. The back (reverse) depicts the goddess Nike, draped from waist down, her wings spread behind; she raises her head and left arm to place a veil on a trophy (post with armor breastplate, helmet, and shield with greaves below). She holds a hammer downwards in her lowered right hand.
