| Obverse description | Head of Apollo facing right, laureate, rendered in low relief in the archaic Milesian tradition. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan, with the facial features worn but the characteristic laurel wreath partially visible. The irregular flan and rough surfaces are typical of hammered bronze coinage of this period and region. |

| Reverse description | Lion standing right, head turned back to left, in the classic Milesian civic type. The lion's muscular body is depicted in profile with hind legs extended, referencing the ancient symbol of Miletos. The magistrate's name BAΣIΛEIΔHΣ appears in the field, identifying this issue as struck under a local monetary official. The flan is irregular and the relief worn, consistent with small-denomination bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period. |
