| Obverse description | Head of a rooster facing left, rendered in archaic Greek style with the characteristic comb, beak, and wattles clearly delineated in low relief. The eye is depicted as a small round pellet, and the feathering of the neck is suggested by fine incised lines radiating across the field. The flan is irregular and slightly ovoid, typical of hammered coinage of this period and denomination. No inscription or legend appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A recessed incuse square filled with a regular grid or lattice pattern of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines, forming a series of small rectangular cells across the entire field. This geometric chequerboard design is a hallmark of early Troadic coinage and served as a functional incuse punch. The pattern is neatly executed and covers the full extent of the incuse, with no legend or additional devices present. |
