| Beschrijving voorzijde | Nude male figure, identified as Zeus, standing left in a dynamic contrapposto pose, his chlamys billowing behind him; he extends his right hand forward holding a small Nike figurine, while his left hand rests on a long scepter. The rendering is robust and typical of Hellenistic bronze coinage of the Achaean League. A partial Greek legend appears to the right in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Achaean League's bronze coinage served the federation's internal economy during a period of increasingly tense negotiation with Rome — a relationship that ended in 146 BC when Lucius Mummius sacked Corinth, dissolved the League entirely, and absorbed Greece into the Roman provincial system. Coins of this type ceased production at that moment, not gradually.
The Alea designation refers to the specific fractional denomination within the League's bronze series, a system that standardized exchange across member poleis from Sicyon to Patras.
