| Obverse description | Zeus Lykaios enthroned left, his draped figure rendered in archaic style, extending his right hand from which an eagle takes flight to the left; a long scepter is held in his left hand. The composition fills the flan in a bold, confident manner characteristic of early Arcadian coinage. |
