| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in low relief in the archaic-to-classical transitional style typical of Achaean mint production. The hair is rendered in stylized locks falling behind the neck, with a wreath of laurel visible atop the head. The facial features are finely modeled, with a pronounced jawline and slightly parted lips. The flan is slightly irregular, characteristic of hand-struck bronze coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pellene was the easternmost of the twelve Achaean cities, sitting at the foot of Mount Cyllene near the Corinthian Gulf. It punched above its weight diplomatically — the city maintained unusually close ties with Sparta throughout the fourth century, a relationship that repeatedly put it at odds with the broader Achaean League. This bronze issue likely dates to the period following the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC, when Spartan power collapsed and Pellene's political alignments became considerably more complicated.
The BCD Peloponnesos collection, from which one reference derives, remains the definitive private assemblage of Peloponnesian bronzes ever documented.
