Provenience: 1900 Imhoof-Blumer - Vorbesitzer Imhoof-Blumer

Public Commentary

Der weibliche Kopf auf der Vorderseite wird als Demeter oder Persephone interpretiert. Es bleibt unklar, ob die beiden hier zugeordneten Münzen einen Typ bilden. The female head on the obverse has been interpreted as Demeter or Persephone. It remains unclear whether the two coins assigned here form one type.
