| Obverse description | Bare head of a youthful male facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with finely engraved parallel hair strands swept back from the forehead. The facial features are delicately modeled, with a prominent eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The neck is truncated cleanly at the base, with no legend or inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | A large bunch of grapes pendant from a vine branch with leaves and tendrils, depicted in high relief within a plain incuse square. Below the grape cluster, the two Greek letters Σ and Α appear in the lower field flanking the bunch, serving as the royal monogram or mint abbreviation associated with the Odrysian king Saratokos. The overall composition is bold and well-centered, characteristic of Thracian silver coinage of the period. |
