| Obverse description | Forepart of a bull facing left in profile, rendered in a sturdy archaic style typical of early Peloponnesian coinage. The animal is depicted standing with muscular haunches and a lowered head, occupying the majority of the flan. The surface shows characteristic granular texture of archaic hammered silver. No inscription or legend is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square divided into four triangular compartments by diagonal and orthogonal incised lines, forming a mill-sail or swastika-like pattern typical of early Greek coinage. The deeply impressed geometric design fills the entire reverse field, executed with a punch die as was standard practice in the archaic period. No legend or inscription is present. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of early hammered coinage from this region. |
