| Reverse description | A female figure, identified as the personification of Achaia, seated left upon a throne or throne-like seat, her draped form rendered in a formal, hieratic pose. She extends a wreath in her right hand and holds a long scepter in her left, symbols of authority and victory befitting the league's allegorical imagery. A Greek legend is partially visible in the field to the left, though heavily worn. The overall style is consistent with the civic bronze coinage of the Achaean League during the second century BC. |
