Beschrijving voorzijde Herakles kneeling to the right, rendered in high relief, his muscular figure engaged in the First Labour as he strangles the Nemean Lion with both arms, the beast rearing beneath him with its hindquarters pressed to the ground. The composition fills the flan dynamically, conveying vigorous movement characteristic of the Kyzikene engraving tradition. In the lower field, a tunny fish swims to the left, serving as the city's distinctive civic badge and a constant type-marker on Kyzikene electrum coinage. No inscription or legend is present. The surfaces display the warm golden-yellow hue typical of high-quality Kyzikene electrum alloy.

Beschrijving keerzijde A quadripartite incuse square occupies the entire reverse field, divided by two perpendicular raised ridges into four recessed compartments of roughly equal size, each with a granular, hammered surface texture. The incuse is deeply struck and precisely delineated, with sharply defined internal angles meeting at a central boss. This characteristic mill-sail or windmill pattern is the standard reverse type for Kyzikene fractional electrum coinage of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. No legend, symbol, or additional device is present.
