| Reverse description | Head of the nymph Kallisto facing right, her hair bound with a tainia and elaborately arranged in wavy locks falling to the nape of the neck; a small earring is visible at the ear. The bust is set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique. The field bears the partial ethnic inscription of the Arcadian League. The portrait displays the fine archaic style characteristic of mid-fifth century BC Peloponnesian silver coinage. |
