| Obverse description | Forepart of a cock facing right, with the wing prominently raised and rendered in bold, deeply cut relief exhibiting multiple parallel feather lines. The comb, beak, and wattle are clearly articulated, and the breast and wing feathers display the vigorous, stylised engraving characteristic of Archaic Troadic coinage. The figure occupies the full flan, with no legend or border present in the field. |

| Reverse description | A stellate or star-like pattern composed of alternating pointed rays and rounded pellet-tipped elements radiating from a central boss, all contained within a shallow incuse square produced by the punch technique. The design exhibits a symmetrical, compass-like arrangement with four principal rays and four intervening rounded lobes, creating a rosette-stellate hybrid motif typical of fifth-century BC Troadic small silver coinage. The incuse square has slightly raised borders and occupies the majority of the reverse field, with no inscription present. |
