ca. 420-380 BC
10mm, 0.68g
obv: head of Aphrodite facing slightly right, hair in sphendone
rev: wreathed head of young Dionysos facing slightly left
(SNG Levante 6)
Aphrodite looks particularly fetching with her slightly tilted head; I can't say I have seen many facing portraits where the figure is striking a pose (or casting a seducing gaze). It is a lovely coin hands down!!
