| Obverse description | Facing lion's head rendered in archaic style, depicted frontally within a dotted square border. The feline visage is boldly modeled in high relief, with prominent brow ridges, deeply set eyes, and a broad muzzle conveying the characteristic leonine power associated with Milesian coinage of the late Archaic period. The dotted square frame enclosing the device is a hallmark of early electrum and silver issues from this mint. |

| Reverse description | Stellate or star-shaped geometric pattern composed of radiating lines contained within a linear square, with additional rays extending toward the corners of the field. The entire device is set within a deeply impressed incuse square, characteristic of the punched reverse technique employed in Archaic Greek coinage of western Asia Minor. The design is purely ornamental and non-figural, serving as the die-punch countermark typical of early Milesian silver fractions. |
