| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, rendered in archaic Greek style with fine engraving of facial features. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of Akarnaian bronze coinage of the period. The portrait fills the central field with no surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | Attic owl standing left in three-quarter facing view, with large round eyes rendered frontally and wings closed, evoking the iconic Athenian type. The ethnic abbreviation ΜΕ appears to the right of the owl and ΦΙ to the left, identifying the issuing city of Medeion in Akarnania. The design is set within a plain field on an irregular flan with characteristic green patination. |
