| Obverse description | Beardless head of Herakles in three-quarter right profile, wearing the lionskin headdress, the scalp and open jaws of the lion visible atop the head. The facial features are rendered in a compact archaic-to-classical style characteristic of Arkadian civic coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. The field is plain, with no inscription. |

| Reverse description | Head of a crested water-bird (stymphalian bird) facing right, rendered in profile with clearly articulated plumage and a prominent crest, the design serving as an emblematic allusion to the Stymphalian myth. The letters T and Y appear in the field on either side of the bird's head, while the ethnic legend ΣΤΥΜΦΑΛΙΩΝ encircles the design. |
