| Beschrijving voorzijde | A lion walking to the left in profile, rendered in archaic relief style, occupying the central field of the flan. The animal is depicted with muscular haunches, a raised tail, and a naturalistically modelled head turned slightly forward. The surface of the flan shows characteristic rough granular texture typical of early archaic hammered coinage. No legend or inscription is present. The design fills the circular flan without a formal border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A deeply incuse square punch containing a facing gorgoneion in low relief, depicting a frontal face with wide staring eyes, prominent brow, and stylized hair or serpentine locks radiating outward. The incuse square has a recessed inner field framed by a raised square border, consistent with early Greek hammered coinage technique. The gorgoneion is rendered in the archaic style, with bold, schematic features. No inscription or legend is present. The surrounding field outside the incuse square is flat and undecorated. |

Without a confirmed attribution, this piece resists easy placement — dozens of minor poleis across the Aegean and western Anatolia struck silver drachms of this weight standard during the fifth century, many for only a generation or two before the city ceased to function independently or was absorbed into a larger alliance or satrapy.
