| Obverse description | A dove depicted in the act of alighting, wings raised and spread, body oriented to the left. The bird is rendered in high relief with fine detailing on the wing feathers, characteristic of the skilled die engravers of Sikyon. The ethnic abbreviation Σ-I (for ΣΙΚΥΩΝΙΩΝ) flanks the dove, one letter on each side, within an otherwise plain field. |

| Reverse description | A dove in flight to the left, depicted with wings partially extended and tail feathers fanned, rendered in confident relief. The Greek letter epsilon (Ε) appears above the tail feathers, likely serving as a magistrate's or die-cutter's control mark. The entire type is enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive, its branches meeting at the base to form a complete border around the central device. |
