| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena Alea in right profile, rendered in fine Classical style. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, its raised crest depicted with crisp radiating lines. The facial features are delicately modeled with a refined eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips, reflecting the artistic conventions of 4th-century Arcadian coinage. The hair falls in loose locks along the neck beneath the helmet's cheekpiece. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of the hero Kepheos advancing to the right in a dynamic martial pose. The warrior carries a large round shield on his left arm and brandishes a dagger in his right hand, while a spear lies at his feet. A Greek inscription appears in the left field, identifying the issuing authority of Tegea. The reverse composition reflects the local mythological traditions of Arcadia, with bold, vigorous engraving typical of the mid-4th century BC. |
