| Obverse description | Bearded deity Baaltars enthroned to the left, his right hand extending forward holding an eagle-tipped scepter, while his left hand rests upon the throne. The figure is rendered in a compact, archaic style characteristic of Babylonian satrapal coinage of the late Achaemenid period. |

| Reverse description | Lion striding to the left in a naturalistic pose, rendered with musculature visible in the compact style typical of Babylonian fractional silver coinage. A spearhead appears in the upper left field above the lion, serving as a control mark. The design occupies most of the flan, which is slightly irregular due to the hammered technique. |
