| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with a full, heavily curled beard and flowing hair bound by a laurel wreath. The portrait displays bold, expressive modeling characteristic of Hellenistic civic coinage. The broad, fleshy features and deeply engraved curls convey the mature, commanding iconography associated with the Achaean League's Zeus type. The field is plain and unlettered. |
