| Obverse description | Zeus seated to left on a throne, his upper body nude, holding a sceptre in his left hand. The figure is rendered in an archaic style characteristic of early Arcadian coinage, with the deity depicted in three-quarter view. The coin's small flan results in partial rendering of the design, with portions of the legend visible along the periphery of the field. |
