| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in the late Classical style with finely detailed wavy hair swept back from the brow and falling in long locks to the neck. The facial features are modeled in low relief with a smooth, idealized quality characteristic of Peloponnesian bronze coinage of the late 4th century BC. The field is plain, with no inscription or border. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a ram facing right, depicted in low relief, set upon a ground line or tablet. The type alludes to the pastoral character of the Pellene region. The central device is enclosed within a wreath of olive or laurel branches forming a circular border around the field. Below the ram, the abbreviated civic ethnic ΠΕ (for ΠΕΛΛΗΝΕΩΝ, 'of the Pelleneans') appears in Greek characters. |
