| Opis awersu |
A Phoenician war galley advances to the left, its hull detailed with a row of shields along the side and oarsmen at their benches with oars extended; below the vessel, a zigzag pattern conventionally represents the sea. The composition is rendered in the compact, stylized manner characteristic of Sidonian silver coinage of the fourth century BC. A single Phoenician letter appears in the field. The design occupies the full flan, reflecting the technical constraints of the small denomination. |

| Opis rewersu |
Within a recessed incuse square, the Great King of Persia is depicted standing to the right in a dynamic combat pose, wearing royal robes and a cidaris crown; he confronts a rearing lion standing on its hind legs to the left, which he engages in battle. The figures are rendered in a bold, deeply struck relief consistent with Achaemenid-influenced Sidonian die engraving. A single Phoenician letter appears in the field. The incuse square border is a hallmark of early Sidonian silver coinage. |
