| Obverse description | Bare head of a youthful male figure, most likely Hermes or a local hero, facing right in profile, rendered in a plain archaic-to-early classical style. The facial features are modeled with simple but confident engraving, with short hair indicated by incised lines swept back from the brow. The bust is truncated at the neck, set within a broad, unadorned field with no legend or border visible. |

| Reverse description | Large archaic Greek letter Eta (Η), the initial letter of HΡΑΙΑ (Heraia), prominently displayed in the center of the field in bold incuse-relief style. The letter is flanked by a dot or pellet to each side and one below, serving as decorative or symbolic filler elements typical of Arkadian civic bronze coinage. The flan is slightly irregular, with no surrounding border or legend. |
