| Obverse description | Bear walking to left in archaic style, rendered with characteristic stippled or granular texture suggesting a shaggy pelt; the animal is depicted in profile with distinctive facial features including a prominent snout and eye visible in the field to the upper left. The type alludes to the founding myth of Mantinea, whose eponymous hero was associated with the bear. The design occupies the full flan, consistent with early Arcadian coinage of the late Archaic period. |
