| Obverse description | Helmeted horseman wearing a chlamys and petasos advances on a horse galloping to the right, his right arm raised in a gesture of salute. A trident head is depicted in the lower field beneath the horse. The composition is vigorous and dynamic, characteristic of late Classical Troadean civic coinage. |

| Reverse description | A cock stands in profile to the right, rendered with careful attention to plumage detail, its wattles and comb clearly articulated. The Greek civic legend ΔΑΡ ΕΠΙ ΛΕΠΤΩΝΟΣ is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Dardanos and the magistrate Lepton under whose authority the issue was struck. The cock, a common device on Troadean coinage, fills the flan with commanding presence. |
