| Reverse description | Female head of Kallisto in left profile, her hair elegantly bound with a tainia and adorned with a necklace, rendered in early Classical Greek style with fine engraving; the entire design is contained within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Arcadian federal coinage. The facial features display the transitional archaic-to-classical style typical of Peloponnesian mint work of the mid-fifth century BC. |
