| Obverse description | Three dolphins arranged radially around a central Greek letter alpha (Α) in the field. The dolphins swim in a circular pattern, their bodies curving around the central device, lending the composition a dynamic, rotational quality characteristic of Aeginetan bronze coinage of the late Classical period. |

| Reverse description | Deep incuse square divided into five compartments by raised lines, forming a quadripartite pattern with one diagonal line bisecting one of the lower quadrants, creating an asymmetric five-part arrangement. The incuse technique reflects the archaic skew-incuse tradition of Aegina, here adapted for small bronze civic coinage. |
