| Reverse description | Female head in profile to the right, set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique. The figure is rendered with finely engraved short hair swept back in neatly incised parallel lines, and wears a beaded necklace at the throat. The facial features display the characteristic archaic-to-early-classical transition style, with a prominent eye in profile and well-defined nose and lips. The abbreviation ΜΑΝΤ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Mantineia. The incuse square border frames the entire design in a recessed quadrilateral. |
