| Reverse description | The personification of Achaia is shown seated to the left upon a throne or rock, draped, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a long scepter in her left. The bilingual ethnic legend encircles the type, identifying both the league and the issuing city. The composition is typical of Achaean League civic bronze issues, combining federal and local identity within a unified iconographic program. |
