| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in a plain archaic-to-transitional Greek style with broad facial features and summary hair treatment. The portrait, likely representing a local hero or deity associated with the city of Psophis in Arcadia, occupies the central field with no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show characteristic green patina consistent with ancient bronze coinage. No inscription is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | A horse or boar depicted in profile facing left, rendered in a schematic style typical of small Arcadian bronze issues of the late Classical period. The animal figure dominates the central field on an uneven, compact flan. The reverse is devoid of inscription, and the surfaces display a heavy green patina with areas of encrustation. The overall design reflects the modest engraving quality characteristic of this small denomination from the regional mint of Psophis. |
