| Obverse description | Facing bearded male head rendered in archaic style, with deeply cut facial features, a full beard, and curling hair framing the face. The frontal presentation is characteristic of early fifth-century BC Thraco-Macedonian coinage. The surface is worn but the essential details of the visage remain discernible. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A bold incuse square of quadripartite design divided by an X pattern into four triangular compartments, each recessed in alternating relief, creating a characteristic mill-sail or windmill effect. This deeply struck incuse type is typical of early Thraco-Macedonian fractional silver coinage of the archaic period. The square incuse fills the reverse field entirely, with no legend or additional device present. |
