| Obverse description | Forepart of a wolf in the characteristic 'wolf at bay' pose, lunging to the left with head turned forward and jaws open, rendered in high relief. The forelegs are extended and the musculature of the animal is rendered with considerable naturalistic detail, consistent with the artistic style of the Argive mint. The figure occupies the full width of the flan, set against a plain field with no inscription or border. |

| Reverse description | A large archaic Greek letter Alpha (Α) dominates the central field, flanked by the letters Α and Ρ in the upper field, forming the ethnic abbreviation ΑΡ for Argos. A caduceus is depicted below the central Alpha, serving as a secondary symbol. All design elements are contained within a shallow square incuse punch, characteristic of early Peloponnesian hammered coinage. |
