背面描述	A cock standing to right in profile, depicted with naturalistic detail including a prominent comb, wattle, and folded wing, its tail feathers arching upward. The bird is rendered in relatively high relief against a plain, flat field. The ethnic legend TEΓEA appears to the right of the figure in Greek characters, serving as the civic inscription of the Arkadian polis of Tegea. The overall composition is characteristic of Peloponnesian bronze issues of the 4th century BC.

附加信息	Tegea occupied a strategically uncomfortable position in the fourth century — nominally allied with Sparta for generations, then pivoting sharply toward Thebes following the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC. This small bronze issue falls squarely within that realignment period, when Tegea was a founding member of the Arcadian League and the newly built city of Megalopolis was actively drawing population away from smaller Arcadian centers. That Tegea continued striking its own civic bronze rather than deferring entirely to League coinage signals a degree of retained local autonomy.
