Obverse description A human leg bent at the knee and oriented to the right, rendered in archaic relief within an irregularly shaped flan. The muscular anatomy of the leg is rendered in a schematic yet expressive early Greek style, characteristic of the archaic coinage of Phlious. The motif fills the obverse field without inscription or border.

Reverse description Deep incuse square divided by raised ridges into six irregular compartments of varying size and shape, a hallmark of early Peloponnesian coinage technique. The incuse design is boldly impressed into the flan, with the diagonal and intersecting lines creating an asymmetric geometric pattern. No legend or additional devices are present.
