| Obverse description | Facing head of a youthful female divinity, likely a nymph or goddess, rendered in the high Classical style. The hair is elaborately dressed and wreathed with foliage, with loose curling locks framing the face on either side. The facial features are finely modeled with a serene, frontal expression characteristic of fourth-century Greek coinage. The field is plain and unlettered. The style reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of western Anatolia. |

| Reverse description | A bull standing or advancing to the left, head lowered as if grazing or charging, rendered in vigorous relief with well-defined musculature. The animal is depicted on a ground line, occupying the central field. Below the exergual line, the ethnic legend ΟΙΝΑΙ appears in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Oinoe. The overall composition is compact and powerful, consistent with the civic coinage conventions of Asia Minor during the fourth century BC. |
