Obverse description Forepart of a roaring lion advancing to the right, the head reverted to the left in the characteristic Milesian style. The lion's mane is rendered in a bold, granular or stippled relief, with the open jaws clearly articulated. The design occupies the full flan, executed in confident archaic Greek style with no inscription or legend in the field.

Reverse description A symmetrical eight-petalled floral or stellate ornament, centrally placed within a square incuse punch. The petals radiate from a raised central boss, alternating with concave lunate segments to produce a balanced, pinwheel-like rosette design. The incuse square is deeply impressed with relatively straight sides, characteristic of early Ionian coinage technique. No legend or additional devices appear in the field.
