| Reverse description | The monogram EP — abbreviating the ethnic of Heraia — is rendered in archaic Greek letters and set within a dotted or pelleted square border, itself contained within a shallow incuse square of irregular outline. The letters are boldly incised and centrally placed within the pelleted frame. The incuse square, a hallmark of early Peloponnesian coinage, fills the entire reverse field. The die work is crisp, consistent with late archaic Arkadian minting practice. |
