| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian-style crested helmet adorned with a decorative cheek guard, the locks of hair rendered in flowing strands cascading beneath the helmet bowl. The portrait is executed in a bold, high-relief style characteristic of Cretan coinage of the Hellenistic period. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. The portrait conveys a strong, idealized martial character consistent with the civic coinage of Kydonia. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A prowling wolf depicted in left profile, arching its body in a crouching posture over a recumbent figure, rendered with vigorous naturalistic detail typical of Hellenistic engraving. The scene alludes to the mythological foundation of Kydonia, referencing the legend of Kydon suckled by a she-wolf. The ethnic legend KYΔΩΝ appears in the lower exergual area in Greek majuscules, serving as the city's identifying inscription. A ground line is indicated beneath the central group. The composition fills the flan with dynamic energy, reflecting the accomplished die-cutting tradition of Cretan mints. |
