| Beschrijving keerzijde | Achaean League monogram (ΑΧ) prominently displayed in the upper field above a left-facing Macedonian helmet, all set within a laurel wreath. To the left of the helmet, the ethnic letters ΚΑ identify the mint city of Kaphyai. The wreath, rendered with carefully detailed leaves and berries, is a hallmark of Achaean League hemidrachm coinage. The composition is well-centered on the flan, with the monogram and ethnic forming the principal identifying elements of this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kaphyai, an Arcadian polis, issued coins under the Achaean League framework during the confederation's final decades — a period when the League was navigating increasingly hostile Roman oversight while nominally retaining autonomy. The terminal date of 146 BC is not approximate; it marks the year Corinth was razed and the League dissolved by Roman force, ending federal coinage in the Peloponnese entirely.
Kaphyai issues from this period are among the scarcer municipal contributions to the League series, reflecting the town's modest size relative to dominant members like Sikyon or Patrai.
