| Obverse description | An oenochoe (wine jug) depicted facing, rendered in relief against a plain field. The vessel is shown with its characteristic handle to the left and a rounded body tapering to a narrow base, with a small pellet at the neck. The style is typical of late fifth-century BC Chalcidian small denomination coinage, with the motif contained within a shallow incuse circular border. |

| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square divided by raised lines into four equal compartments, forming a symmetrical windmill or skewed cross pattern characteristic of archaic and early classical Greek hammered coinage. The incuse is deeply struck and recessed within the flan, with the divisions clearly defined. The technique reflects the standard reverse type employed for small silver fractions of Terone during this period. |
