| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet. The relief is bold and slightly crude in the archaic Ionian tradition, with the cheek-guards and crest rendered in summary but recognizable style. The flan is irregular, characteristic of the small hammered silver coinage of the Ionian coastal cities. |

| Reverse description | Athena's owl standing to right with head facing forward, rendered in the Athenian-influenced style adopted by many Ionian mints. In the right field, a ship's prow is depicted, referencing Lebedos's maritime identity. To the left field, the Greek magistrate's name ΗΓΙΑΣ is inscribed vertically. The devices are contained within a plain incuse square field typical of early Ionian hemidrachms. |
