| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in a bold, slightly archaic Hellenistic style with characteristic thick wavy locks of hair and a full beard. The facial features are strongly modeled, with a prominent brow and aquiline nose typical of Zeus portraiture in the Achaean League coinage. No legend is present in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Achaean League's federal coinage was a deliberate political instrument — member city-states surrendered the right to strike silver in their own names, with Patrai among the cities whose local identity survives only as a mintmark on League issues. This hemidrachm falls within a politically turbulent window: the League had just navigated the Roman-Seleucid War and was beginning to feel the weight of Roman interference in Greek affairs that would eventually end the League entirely at Corinth in 146 BC.
HGC 5#51 is among the commoner Patrai attributions, though the mint control marks on individual specimens repay close attention.
