Beschrijving voorzijde A stallion stands to the left in high relief, rendered with finely modelled musculature and a flowing mane, its head turned slightly downward. Beneath the horse, serving as a ground line, a tunny fish swims to the left — the tunny being the civic emblem of Kyzikos and a recurring device on the city's electrum coinage. The composition fills the flan dynamically, with the horse's raised foreleg and arched neck conveying vigour and movement. The field is plain and unlettered, consistent with the archaic Kyzikene hekte series. The die work is characteristic of the accomplished engraving tradition of late Archaic Mysia, circa 500–450 BC.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse displays a deeply struck quadripartite incuse square, divided by two perpendicular ridges into four recessed rectangular compartments of roughly equal size, each with a granular, textured surface resulting from the hammered striking technique. The incuse pattern is boldly impressed and slightly asymmetric, as is typical of hand-struck archaic electrum coinage. The surrounding field merges smoothly into the coin's irregular, convex flan. No legend or additional devices are present. This standard incuse reverse type is consistent across the archaic hekte series of Kyzikos.
