| Beschrijving keerzijde | Head of a youthful female figure, most likely Athena or a local nymph, facing left in profile within a shallow incuse square. The hair is rendered in tight waves pulled back from the face, executed in the severe style transitional between Archaic and Early Classical Greek art. The portrait is unadorned, without headdress or jewellery, and the field around it is plain. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Arcadian League's coinage of this period predates the more familiar federal issues and belongs to a transitional phase when Tegea was asserting influence within the confederacy — complicated by the city's historically ambiguous loyalties during the Persian Wars, when Tegea fought at Plataea but had earlier been courted by Xerxes. Federal silver at this weight circulated primarily to facilitate mercenary payments; Arcadian soldiers were among the most sought-after hoplites in the Greek world by the mid-fifth century.
