Beschrijving voorzijde Forepart of a horse facing right in high relief, rendered in the archaic style characteristic of early Arkadian coinage. The animal's musculature is boldly articulated, with the neck arched and the mane indicated by incised lines. The design occupies the majority of the flan, with the horse's chest and forelegs visible in the lower field. No legend or inscription is present. The execution is typical of the mid-fifth century BC Greek provincial mint tradition.

Aanvullende informatie

Kleitor was a minor Arkadian polis tucked into the highlands northwest of Mantineia, producing coinage in the fifth century that survives today in numbers small enough to make any example genuinely scarce. The BCD Peloponnesos collection, assembled by a single dedicated collector over decades and sold through Leu Numismatik in 2020, provided the primary reference framework for exactly these obscure Arkadian mints — many of which would otherwise lack any systematic catalog treatment at all.

At 0.88g, this obol represents the fractional end of Kleitor's output, likely produced for local market transactions rather than regional trade.
