| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with wavy hair and a full beard. The laurel wreath is depicted in detailed relief, framing the deity's mature and commanding profile. The flan is bordered by a dotted bead-and-reel pattern encircling the field. The portraiture exhibits strong naturalistic modeling characteristic of late Achaean League coinage. |
