| Beschrijving keerzijde | Head of a ram facing right, depicted in profile with curved horn, set within a circular olive wreath that frames the entire design. The Greek inscription ΓΞ appears above the ram's head, functioning as a civic abbreviation or control mark. The wreath is composed of pairs of elongated leaves arranged symmetrically around the central device. The overall composition is compact and well-centered within the irregular flan, characteristic of Achaean civic bronzes of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pellene was the easternmost of the twelve Achaean cities, perched in the mountains above the Corinthian Gulf, and remained a minor issuer throughout the classical period. The city is better remembered for producing Chaeron, a student of Plato who seized tyrannical power there around 365 BC — an episode Aristotle cited as a cautionary case of philosophical education producing political monsters rather than philosopher-kings.
Bronze issues of this type are documented across multiple SNG Copenhagen specimens, suggesting reasonable die survival, though Pellene's bronze output never approached the volume of its larger Achaean neighbors.
