| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in bold relief with finely detailed wreath of olive leaves encircling the hair. The deity's mature, bearded visage displays characteristic Hellenistic modeling, with pronounced brow, aquiline nose, and full beard. The portrait fills the flan with confident artistry typical of Arkadian civic coinage of the late second to early first century BC. |

| Reverse description | Two clubs crossed in saltire at the center of the field, a device associated with the Heraklean tradition of Arkadian Kleitor. The monogram or abbreviation KΛ appears to the left and H to the right of the crossed clubs, denoting the ethnic of Kleitor and the denomination. The entire device is set within a wreath of olive leaves tied at the base, forming a circular border characteristic of Peloponnesian league coinage of this period. |
