| Obverse description | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with raised crest, rendered in archaic Greek style. The helmet covers the upper portion of the face, with the cheekpiece visible in profile. The facial features are summarily modeled, characteristic of the small-denomination coinage of Mysian Adramyttion. The field is plain and the flan is irregular, typical of hammered silver issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a boar advancing to the right in incuse square, depicted with bristled mane and compact musculature rendered in a stylized archaic manner. The design is set within a shallow incuse field, consistent with the hammered technique employed for this small silver denomination. The boar's legs and snout are summarily indicated, and the overall composition fills the limited flan area economically. |
