| Obverse description | Boar's head facing right, rendered in profile with boldly modelled snout and bristled crest, occupying the central field of the flan. The design is characteristic of the colonial bronze coinage of Patrae, reflecting the city's association with the Calydonian boar myth. The colonial legend C A A P is distributed around the type in the field, serving as the primary epigraphic element. |
