| Reverse description | A fish swims to the left within a shallow incuse square, the incuse technique characteristic of early Peloponnesian coinage. An annulet and a small star appear above the fish in the upper field, while a spearhead is placed below, pointing downward. These symbols are believed to be civic badges associated with the polis of Psophis in Arcadia. The design is starkly geometric, with the incuse border framing the composition tightly, and no inscriptions are present. |
