| Obverse description | Crested Corinthian helmet shown in right profile, rendered in high relief with characteristic cheek guards and prominent neck guard visible. The crest rises boldly above the bowl of the helmet, with the surface showing the characteristic granular texture of archaic Troadic silver coinage. The design fills the flan with no legend or border, consistent with the small module of this fractional denomination. |

| Reverse description | A tall, narrow-bodied amphora with two small handles depicted facing upright in the field, enclosed within a dotted or beaded square border that nearly fills the flan. The amphora rests on a short foot and tapers elegantly toward the neck, with a flared mouth at the top. The incuse square border is formed by a row of dots on all four sides, a device characteristic of late archaic and early classical Troadic civic coinage. The field within the square is slightly incuse, and no legend accompanies the type. |
