| Obverse description | Facing right profile bust of Hera, rendered in fine archaic-to-classical style, wearing an elaborately ornamented stephanos (diadem crown) atop her hair, which falls in loose locks behind the neck. The goddess's facial features are rendered with careful attention to detail, including a well-defined eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The portrait is set within a plain circular field typical of Argive silver coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | A wolf in full stride, depicted running to the left with all four legs extended in a dynamic galloping pose, rendered in bold relief characteristic of Argive coinage. The animal's musculature and tail are carefully delineated, conveying speed and vigor. The wolf, sacred to Apollo and an emblematic symbol of Argos, occupies the central field of the flan. The reverse is otherwise plain, with no legend or exergual inscription, consistent with Argive hemidrachm coinage of this period. |
