| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena Alea in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a Triton figure in the act of hurling a stone to the right. The rendering reflects the archaic-to-classical Arcadian artistic tradition, with carefully incised helmet details characteristic of Tegean civic coinage. |

| Reverse description | An owl depicted standing to the left with head facing forward, rendered in the compact, stocky style typical of Arcadian bronzes; the bird is positioned upon an olive branch, its plumage indicated by careful incuse lines. The composition closely echoes Athenian iconographic conventions while retaining a distinctly provincial character. |
