| Obverse description | Forepart of a bull facing left, rendered in archaic style within the small flan; the animal's muscular neck and curving horn are depicted in low relief against a plain field. The design is characteristic of the early Phliasian coinage, reflecting the civic emblem of the polis. No legend or inscription is present on this denomination. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square punch with a shallow, irregular quadripartite depression, within which a rough incuse image of the bull's forepart is visible in negative relief. The incuse technique is consistent with early Archaic Greek coinage production, wherein the reverse die was a simple punch driven into the blank to secure it during striking. No inscription or legend present. |
