| Reverse description | A large Greek letter Alpha (Α) dominates the central field, serving as the initial of Argos. The magistrate's name ΑΓΑΘΟΚΛΕΟΣ is inscribed in three lines arranged around the central letter. A harpa (a curved, sickle-shaped weapon associated with Perseus, the mythological hero of Argos) is depicted to the right, positioned below the crossbar of the Alpha. The entire design is contained within a recessed incuse square, a hallmark of archaic and Hellenistic Peloponnesian coinage that persisted on Argive issues into the late Republican period. |
