| Obverse description | Cista mystica depicted frontally at center, its distinctive wicker basket rendered with careful horizontal banding and dotted ornament, the hinged lid ajar to reveal an emerging serpent coiling upward to the left. The entire central motif is enclosed within a lush ivy wreath, the garland composed of stylized ivy leaves and berries arranged in a continuous circle around the field, characteristic of the cistophoric coinage series. |
