| Beschrijving voorzijde | Zeus Lykaios enthroned right, his draped figure rendered in archaic style, holding a long scepter in his left hand while an eagle takes flight leftward from his extended right hand. The composition reflects early classical Greek die-cutting associated with the Arcadian federal coinage, with the deity depicted in a static, frontal-throne posture. The field is plain with no exergue inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Arcadian League coinage of the mid-fifth century BC was a rare early experiment in federal Greek minting — one of the first instances of poleis surrendering individual civic coinage identity in favor of a shared federal type. Tegea, one of the more powerful Arcadian cities and home to a major sanctuary of Athena Alea, contributed substantially to this federal output. The hemidrachm denomination served inter-regional trade at a fractional level appropriate to Arcadian market activity, which was more pastoral than mercantile.
