| Obverse description | Bare head of Zeus facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with short, tightly curled hair and a small horn at the temple, characteristic of the syncretic Pan-Zeus type associated with Megalopolis. The portrait is boldly modeled in high relief against a plain, unadorned field. The flan is irregular and somewhat roughly finished, typical of early Arcadian League bronze coinage. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Large interlaced monogram of AP (Alpha-Rho), the abbreviation for ARKADIKON, prominently occupying the central field. Below the monogram, a syrinx (pan-pipes) is depicted, serving as a symbol of the god Pan and the Arcadian cultural identity. A small star or pellet appears in the upper left field. The design is boldly incuse and deeply struck, with the monogram and symbol rendered in a plain, undecorated style characteristic of Arcadian League bronze issues. |
