| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of Achaean League coinage. The deity's mature visage is framed by a flowing beard and wavy hair surmounted by a laurel wreath. The facial features — a prominent brow, deep-set eye, and strong jaw — reflect the established Hellenistic artistic conventions of the mid-2nd century BC. The flan is irregular and the fields are plain, with no legend present on the obverse. |
