Beschrijving voorzijde A griffin seated in left profile occupies the central field, rendered in fine archaic relief with elaborately striated wings folded against its leonine body and its beaked head turned alertly to the left. Beneath the griffin, serving as the characteristic Kyzikene device, a tunny fish is shown in left profile, a recurring symbol on the city's electrum coinage. The flan is slightly irregular in form, consistent with hand-struck archaic production. The devices are executed in a bold, confident style characteristic of the finest Kyzikene hekte coinage of the mid-archaic period. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse.

Beschrijving keerzijde A deep quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse, divided into four recessed compartments by a raised cross-shaped ridge meeting at the center, the standard reverse type employed on Kyzikene electrum hektes of this period. The incuse is strongly impressed and exhibits the irregular surface texture typical of archaic hammered coinage. The four sections display varying depths and textures resulting from the striking process. No legend, inscription, or subsidiary device appears. The overall execution is consistent with the mill-sail or windmill incuse pattern characteristic of early Kyzikene fractional electrum.
