| Obverse description | Forepart of a bull advancing to the left, head turned back to the right, rendered in a sturdy, compact style characteristic of Greek fractional coinage. The musculature of the animal's shoulders and neck is clearly articulated within the small flan. No legend or inscription appears in the field. The type is consistent with civic coinage from several Greek cities of Asia Minor or the Greek mainland that used bovine imagery as a civic or religious symbol. |

| Reverse description | A three-rayed star radiating symmetrically from a central raised pellet, with each ray tapering to a pointed tip and flanked by smaller pellets at the interstices. The design fills the plain, uninscribed field and is struck in high relief relative to the small flan. This triskeles-like star motif served as a common reverse type on anonymous Greek fractional silver. No legend is present. |
