| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus Amarios facing right, rendered in a bold archaic style characteristic of Achaian League coinage. The deity displays a thick, flowing beard with deeply cut curls, and the laurel wreath is prominently modelled across the brow. The portrait fills the flan with strong relief, framed by a dotted border visible along the coin's edge. |
