| Obverse description | Janiform (double-faced) head in archaic style: the left face is that of a bearded male oriented to the left, the right face that of a female oriented to the right. Both faces display the characteristic archaic almond-shaped eyes rendered in frontal view. Each wears a stephane (diadem crown) and shares a disc earring decorated with a rosette motif and a double-curved pendant drop. A necklace of pearls is depicted beneath the paired heads, uniting the two visages within a single composition. |

An inscription appears in the upper left field. The entire design is set within a deeply recessed incuse square, characteristic of early Archaic-period Greek coinage of the eastern Aegean. |
