| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair and beard in the Hellenistic style. The laureate wreath is visible across the brow, with locks of hair falling naturalistically behind the neck. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan, which is characteristically irregular in shape as typical of hand-struck ancient coinage. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Achaean League's coinage served a practical federal function — member poleis retained local identity in some issues while the League maintained a unified silver standard for interstate commerce. Sikyon's membership in the League was not always frictionless; the city had been forcibly incorporated by Aratos of Sikyon in 251 BC, the very man who built the League into a genuine regional power. The hemidrachm series from this narrow window falls squarely within the years Rome was dismantling Macedonian hegemony after Cynoscephalae, reshaping every political calculation in the Peloponnese.
