| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large serpent or grape vine rendered as a circular wreath or coiling motif encircling the central field, within which the abbreviated ethnic legend EP appears in two Greek capital letters. The design is characteristic of small Arcadian bronze issues, with the encircling element framing the civic abbreviation for Orchomenos (ΕΡΧΟΜΕΝΟΣ). The execution is bold but somewhat crude, consistent with the hammered technique and small module of the denomination. The field is otherwise plain. |

Orchomenos in Arcadia — distinct from the more famous Boeotian city of the same name — was a minor polis that nonetheless maintained autonomous bronze coinage during the fourth century, a period when many smaller Arcadian communities were being absorbed into or pressured by the Arcadian League centered at Megalopolis. That League's own coinage dominated the region, making small civic issues like this chalkon relatively short-lived assertions of local autonomy. The BCD Peloponnesos collection, from which this piece draws its primary reference, remains the definitive die study for this series.
