| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing left, rendered in fine archaic-to-classical Greek style with a full, carefully detailed beard and flowing hair bound by an olive wreath. The portrait displays strong modeling of facial features characteristic of Arkadian League coinage from Megalopolis, with deeply incised locks framing the godly countenance. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hammered Greek silver coinage of this period. |
