       Laureate head r.
rev. VP CTATIOV LO - N - GINOV NIKOPO / LITWN PR / OC ICT
      Demeter as City Goddess, wearing mural crown, enthroned l., resting with raised l. hand 
      on long sceptre and holding in extended r. hand 2 grain ears
ref. a) not in AMNG:
          cf. AMNG I/1, 1734 (rev. only, but has OC IC)
      b) not in Varbanov:
          cf. #3557 (= AMNG 1734)

Pick writes: The mural crown on the goddess' head makes the naming as Demeter unlikely; however, Demeter could be meant as a city goddess.
