| Reverse description | An owl, the symbol of Athena, stands facing right upon an olive branch, its head turned frontally to face the viewer — a hallmark of classical Athenian-influenced iconography adapted for Tegean civic bronze coinage. The bird is rendered in compact, stocky style with large round eyes prominently detailed, the feathering of the body and wings indicated by incuse lines. The olive branch, extending diagonally to the right of the owl, is depicted with individual leaves clearly articulated. The type closely echoes Athenian numismatic tradition while serving as a distinctly Arcadian civic emblem. |
