| Obverse description | Nude male figure, likely Zeus or a heroic deity, depicted in dynamic striding pose facing right, with the right arm raised and the left arm extended, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style typical of Achaean League provincial bronzes. The surface exhibits a pronounced green patina with areas of earthen encrustation, partially obscuring finer detail. A partial magistrate's inscription is visible in the field, partially off-flan. The type follows the standard iconographic convention of the Asine mint within the Achaean League coinage series. |
