| Obverse description | Ram's head in left profile, rendered in archaic Cypriot style with boldly modeled, textured fleece indicated by punched or incised detailing across the skull and neck. The eye is globular and prominent, the muzzle blunt and naturalistically formed. The design is set within an irregular, unbordered flan typical of early hammered Cypriot silver coinage of the Euelthon series. |

| Reverse description | Plain, uninscribed reverse presenting a flat, smooth surface with no device, legend, or incuse mark, characteristic of the earliest issues of the Euelthon coinage from Salamis. The flan shows natural irregularities and flow lines consistent with archaic hammered silver production, with no deliberate design element struck on this side. |
