| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in bold, high-relief style characteristic of Achaean League coinage. The deity's mature, bearded visage is framed by a laurel wreath, with finely detailed hair falling behind the neck. The magistrate's control letters ΔΙ appear in the left field. The portrait occupies the full flan with commanding presence, reflecting the vigorous engraving tradition of the Peloponnesian mint workshops. |
