| Obverse description | Forepart of a goat to right, rendered in fine archaic style, with the animal's forelegs raised and head turned slightly upward, displaying prominent curved horns. The musculature and beard of the goat are rendered with careful incuse detail characteristic of Achaian civic coinage of the late Classical period. The figure occupies the full field of the flan, set against a plain silver background with no legend. |
