| Obverse description | Confronted foreparts of two bulls facing one another at center, their heads lowered and bodies extending outward to left and right respectively, rendered in archaic relief typical of Carian mint coinage. The design fills the compact flan, with the animals' forelegs visible beneath their chests. No inscription or border ornament is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a bull advancing to left, depicted in profile with head turned slightly forward, horns and muzzle clearly rendered. Beneath the neck, a six-rayed star appears in the lower field, serving as a possible mint or magistrate symbol. The design is set on a plain, uninscribed flan characteristic of small-denomination Carian silver coinage of the early fourth century BC. |
