| Obverse description | Forepart of a boar advancing to the right, rendered in archaic Greek style with bold, confident engraving. The animal's snout, eye, and ear are clearly delineated, with hatching visible along the dorsal ridge to suggest bristling fur. The boar's head occupies most of the flan, characteristic of the archaic coinage of the Cycladic islands. No inscription or legend is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square divided into four quadrants by a raised cruciform pattern, typical of early archaic Greek coinage technique. The quadrants display an alternating raised and sunken arrangement, producing a windmill or mill-sail effect within the square incuse punch. The rough, irregular surface of the incuse reflects the primitive striking method of the period. No inscription or legend is present. |
