| Obverse description | Facing head of Apollo, rendered in archaic Greek style with schematic facial features, set within a plain circular field. The portrait is centrally positioned and struck in moderately high relief, with the hair rendered in broad masses framing the face. The treatment is typical of small bronze civic coinage from Aeolic Asia Minor during the fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | A mussel shell depicted in left profile, rendered naturalistically in low to medium relief against a plain field. This marine symbol served as the civic type of Grynion, a small Aeolic coastal city, referencing its seafaring and harbor identity. The ethnic inscription ΓΡΥΝΕΩΝ appears around the device, identifying the issuing community. |
