| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field occupied by the monogram of the Achaean League (AX conjoined), enclosed within a laurel wreath. Additional monograms appear above and below the central device, with a thunderbolt also positioned in the lower field. The letters F and A (representing the ethnic of Elis) are placed across the field flanking the central monogram. The wreath border is carefully rendered with individual leaves, consistent with Achaean League federal coinage conventions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Achaean League's federal coinage was a deliberate instrument of political unification — member city-states surrendered the right to strike their own silver, channeling production through a handful of authorized mints. Elis was admitted to the League in 191 BC after Rome forced the issue following the defeat of Macedon at Cynoscephalae, a membership that was never entirely comfortable given Elis's long tradition of independence rooted in its custodianship of Olympia.
This hemidrachm falls within the final decades of the League's existence before Rome dissolved it entirely in 146 BC following the sack of Corinth.
