| Obverse description | A globular amphora rendered in bold relief, depicted facing, with two upswept handles flanking a narrow neck and a rounded body tapering to a short foot. The vessel is centrally positioned within the field and enclosed by a beaded border, a characteristic decorative device of early Macedonian coinage. The style reflects the archaic die-engraving tradition, with the amphora serving as the civic badge of Terone. |

| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square, deeply impressed into the flan and divided by raised ridges into four equal rectangular compartments, each left plain. This arrangement is characteristic of the early Greek incuse technique widely employed in northern Aegean coinage of the late archaic period, functioning as the anvil die impression. |
