| Obverse description | Forepart of a lion to right, head turned back to left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed mane and musculature. The animal's open jaws and alert gaze convey vigorous naturalism characteristic of late Classical Greek coinage from the Thracian Chersonese. The flan is irregular and slightly scyphate, with the design centered within a plain field. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four quarters by a raised cross, with alternating raised and sunken sections in the skeuomorphic mill-sail pattern typical of Chersonese coinage. One sunken quarter contains a pellet and a sickle symbol; the opposite sunken quarter bears a pellet alongside an AΓ monogram. The raised quarters are plain. No surrounding legend is present. |
