| Obverse description | Corinthian helmet with prominent transverse crest depicted facing right, rendered in profile within a roughly circular flan. The helmet bowl, cheek-guards, and neck-guard are summarily but recognizably articulated in the archaic style typical of fifth-century Troadic coinage. The design occupies the full field with no surrounding legend or border. |

| Reverse description | An amphora depicted upright in three-quarter view, centered within a incuse linear square frame. The vessel displays characteristic handles arching from shoulder to neck, a narrow foot, and a rounded body, all rendered in low relief. The linear square border is a hallmark of early Greek fractional coinage from the Troad region. The field around the amphora is plain, with no additional symbols or inscription. |
