# Long description

This is a colour photograph of two sides of a silver coin shown against a black background. The obverse is to the left and the reverse to the right.

The obverse shows the head of a woman facing right. The folds of her garments are draped around her neck. Her hair is pinned in a thick coil at the back and she is wearing a diadem. An inscription runs in a deep arc around her. It reads DIVA MATIDIA AVGVSTA. A worn arc of raised dots can be seen along the edge of the coin at the top.

The reverse shows an eagle standing on a line across the bottom arc of the coin. The bird is leaning towards the right with its head turned towards the left. It is raising its wings.

An arc of inscription frames the eagle. It reads CONSECRATIO. An arc of raised dots is visible on the left-hand side of the coin.
