| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus in right profile, rendered with characteristic mature, bearded visage and flowing hair adorned with a laurel wreath. The portrait displays bold, high-relief modelling typical of Achaean League coinage, with deeply incised facial features and a strong jawline. The style reflects the standard Achaean federal coinage iconography of the late 3rd to early 2nd century BC. |
