| Obverse description | Forepart of a horse leaping to the right, rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of Aeolian bronze coinage. The abbreviated ethnic of the city (KΥ) appears in the upper field, while the magistrate's name (ΔΕΥΝΙΚΟΣ) is inscribed in the lower field. The design is contained within a broad, plain flan with irregular flan edges typical of hammered provincial bronzes. |

| Reverse description | A single-handled cup or oenochoe shown in frontal perspective, centered on the flan within a plain field. The vessel is depicted in a bold, stylized manner with a clearly defined handle rising above the rim and a broad, flaring body tapering toward the base. The reverse is unlettered and devoid of additional decorative elements, consistent with the austere civic bronze coinage of Kyme in Aeolis during the Hellenistic period. |
