| Obverse description | Ram's head facing left, rendered in bold archaic style with a prominently defined eye, a curved horn swept back above the neck, and carefully striated fleece indicated along the poll. The modelling is accomplished in high relief against a smooth, unadorned field, characteristic of the early coinage of Kebren in the Troad. |

| Reverse description | Facing head of a roaring lion turned to the right, with open jaws, protruding tongue, and a boldly rendered mane, set within a recessed incuse square. The design is executed in the archaic Ionian tradition, with stylised, radiating mane locks framing the face and deeply cut facial features conveying fierce expression. The incuse square has straight, well-defined borders and a granular surface texture. |
