| Obverse description | Youthful male head facing right, rendered in archaic-transitional Greek style with wavy hair swept back from the brow. The portrait, likely representing a hero or the young king Amyntas III, is set within a plain circular field with no legend. The facial features are summarily modeled, characteristic of early Macedonian bronze coinage of the late fifth to early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Bull charging or walking to the right, depicted within a shallow incuse square frame with a hatched upper border, a common device on early Macedonian bronze issues. The animal is rendered with compact musculature and forward-thrusting posture, its head lowered. The partial legend AMYNTA appears in Greek characters, likely distributed around the field or along the lower border of the incuse square. |
