| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic local style characteristic of Arkadian bronze coinage. The facial features, though worn, display a strong profile with a prominent nose and chin. The helmet bowl is clearly articulated, with the cheek-guards framing the face. The design fills the flan with little remaining field visible. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mantinea's minting activity in this period followed the city's refoundation after 385 BC, when the Spartans had forcibly dissolved the polis and scattered its population into four constituent villages. The city was reconstituted after Leuctra in 371 BC, and local bronze coinage resumed as a direct assertion of civic identity — small denominations like this dichalkon serving the everyday transactional needs of a rebuilt community still consolidating its autonomy.
The BCD Peloponnesos collection, from which this reference derives, remains the definitive private accumulation of Peloponnesian bronzes catalogued in the early 2000s auction.
