| Reverse description | Central field features a monogram of the Achaean League, the characteristic interlocked letters forming the federal symbol, surrounded by a dotted border. The legend ΑΧΑΙΩΝ appears partially around the periphery, with the ethnic designation of the mint city ΟΡΧΟΜΕ- completing the inscription. The monogram is flanked by additional symbols or letters consistent with Achaean League bronze coinage typology. The overall design is characteristic of the standardized federal coinage struck at Orchomenos during the League's final period of autonomy. |
