| Beschrijving keerzijde | A tall pillar fountain (the so-called 'Perseia' fountain of Argos) depicted in profile at center, with a domed capital surmounting the shaft, which bears horizontal cross-bars suggesting spouts or architectural members. To the left stands a Corinthian or Argive helmet resting on its crest, facing left. To the right, the archaic letter heta (Ε with three horizontal bars, the local Argive form) serving as an ethnic abbreviation. The reverse field is plain, with no additional legend, reflecting the city's standard bronze coinage iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Argos in this period was navigating the fractious politics of the Achaean League, having formally joined in 229 BC after expelling the Macedonian garrison — a shift that reoriented the city's alliances decisively toward the developing federal structure of the Peloponnese. Small bronze issues like this dichalkon served local market transactions at a moment when Argos was reasserting civic autonomy after decades of external control.
The HGC 5 attribution pins this type to a well-documented but modestly researched series; the BCD collection, dispersed at Leu Numismatik in 2006 and 2007, remains the primary reference point for die studies of Peloponnesian bronzes of this class.
