| Obverse description | Forepart of a goat's head facing right, rendered in archaic style with characteristic bold, raised relief typical of early Macedonian coinage. The animal's muzzle, horn, and ear are discernible despite the small flan and irregular strike. The design fills the field with no legend or border, consistent with the primitive artistic conventions of this early period. |

| Reverse description | Quadripartite incuse square divided into four triangular sections by diagonal ridges meeting at the center, forming a windmill or mill-sail pattern within the recessed punch. This deeply struck incuse design is characteristic of early Macedonian silver coinage and served as the reverse type for denominations produced at Aigai during the late Archaic period. The field is plain with no legend or additional devices. |
