| Obverse description | Facing forepart of a boar rendered in archaic Greek style, occupying the majority of the flan; the animal's snout, tusks, and bristled neck crest are indicated in bold, schematic relief characteristic of early Arkadian coinage. The design is executed with vigorous plasticity against a plain, irregular field. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square divided horizontally, containing a fish depicted in profile to the left within the upper register; below the fish, a small eye symbol or circular device is visible in the lower register. The abbreviated civic ethnic PSO (Ψ O) appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Psophis in Arkadia. The incuse technique is consistent with early Peloponnesian coinage of the late Archaic period. |
