| Reverse description | The large, distinctive monogram of the Achaean League occupies the central field, composed of interlocking letters. The letter Υ appears above the monogram, the letters Λ and Α are positioned across the central field flanking the device, and Ε appears below, together identifying the mint city of Lakedaimon. The entire design is enclosed within an olive or laurel wreath, a standard compositional feature of Achaean League federal coinage of this period. |
