| Obverse description | A bull standing to the left in high relief, rendered in the archaic style characteristic of Northern Greek coinage of the early fifth century BC. The animal is depicted with muscular flanks and a pronounced dewlap, its head turned slightly toward the viewer. A suckling calf is shown beneath the bull, nursing from its mother in a composition frequently associated with Macedonian and Thessalian mint output. The ground line is indicated by a faint exergual border. No inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A male head in profile facing left, rendered in shallow incuse within a recessed square punch, consistent with early archaic hammered coinage technique. The hair is depicted in elaborate rounded locks arranged in a scalework pattern across the crown, with a single curl visible before the ear. The facial features are modelled with restrained archaic naturalism, the lips slightly parted. A plain rectangular incuse bar is visible beneath the truncation of the neck. No legend or inscription appears. |
