| Obverse description | A goose standing to right with head reverted, rendered in high relief with carefully detailed plumage indicated by incised striations across the wing coverts. A small lizard appears in the upper field above the bird's back. The design occupies the full flan, characteristic of the archaic coinage of Eion in Thrace, where the goose served as the principal civic type. |
