| Obverse description | Forepart of a wolf advancing to left, with head lowered and jaws open, rendered in high relief with naturalistic musculature. The animal's forelegs are extended and slightly splayed, resting on a rocky or uneven ground line. The design is boldly executed in the archaic-to-classical transitional style characteristic of Argive coinage, filling the flan with dynamic energy. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Large alpha (Α) at centre of a shallow incuse square, flanked by the letters Λ and Ρ across the field, forming the ethnic abbreviation ΑΡΓ for Argos. Below the central alpha, a horizontal crossbar is visible, with a club oriented to the left, serving as an emblematic civic symbol. The entire design is contained within a recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Peloponnesian silver coinage. |
