| Obverse description | A pomegranate depicted in high relief at center, rendered naturalistically with characteristic lobed fruit body and calyx visible at top, filling the coin field. The design is rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of 4th century BC Aegean civic bronze coinage. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |
