Commentary
Au droit la couronne qui coiffe Zeus est décrite comme de chêne. Il semble plutôt que nous soyons en présence d’une couronne de laurier.
On the right the crown which caps Zeus is described as made of oak. It seems rather that we are in the presence of a laurel wreath

Historical background
EPIRUS - EPIROTE LEAGUE
(3rd - 1st century BC)
The Epirote coinage did not survive the arrival of the Romans. Paul-Émile had more than 150,000 inhabitants of the region sold as slaves to punish the Epirotes for having been the allies of Perseus of Macedonia.
