| Obverse description | Facing head of the sea-god Poseidon (or a river deity), rendered in a bold archaic-influenced style, occupying the full diameter of the flan. The deity is depicted with a broad, fleshy face, deeply set eyes, and a prominent bushy beard with stylized locks. The hair is rendered in thick, sweeping strands framing the face on either side, with no legend or inscription present in the field. |

| Reverse description | A horse galloping to the right in a lively, naturalistic pose, its mane and tail rendered with bold incised strokes. The civic ethnic inscription ΠΙΤΑ is arranged in the field, identifying the issuing city of Pitane in Aeolis. The design is set against a rough, uneven flan surface characteristic of early Greek municipal bronze coinage. |
