| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing figure of a crab-man or warrior depicted in a dynamic striding pose at center, rendered in the archaic Greek style characteristic of the early fifth century BC. To the left, a large globular object and a tripod cauldron are visible in the field, emblematic devices associated with the island of Kos. To the right, partial letters of the ethnic legend KΩION appear distributed across the field. The surfaces display the bold, somewhat rough relief typical of early hammered coinage from the Dodecanese region. The flan is broad and irregular, with a dotted border partially visible along the lower edge. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crab rendered in fine archaic relief, depicted frontally with all legs splayed symmetrically and both claws raised, occupying the majority of the design field. The crab, the principal civic emblem of Kos, is set within a deep incuse square with a finely serrated or rope-pattern border on three sides, characteristic of early Koan coinage. The incuse technique creates a strong contrast between the raised crab motif and the recessed background. The overall composition is well-centered on the irregular flan, and the craftsmanship reflects the accomplished die-cutting of the early Classical period. No legend or additional devices are present on the reverse. |
