Helmeted head of Athena right / Owl standing right, head facing, on amphora; magistrates’ names in fields; to left, Asklepios standing left, holding serpent-entwined staff; E on amphora, ΣΦ below; all within wreath. Cf. Thompson 352/351 (for obv. die/rev. with same 3rd magistrate and month). Near EF, toned, minor mark on jaw line of Athena.
