| Obverse description | Zeus Lykaios enthroned left, his figure rendered in archaic Greek style; he holds a long scepter in his left hand while extending his right arm, from which an eagle takes flight to the left. The throne is surmounted by a swan's-head finial, a distinctive iconographic detail associated with the Lykaian cult. The composition fills the flan with bold, deeply struck relief characteristic of early Arkadian federal coinage. |
