| Obverse description | Geometric grid pattern consisting of a rectilinear arrangement of raised lines forming a series of rectangular compartments across the lower field, surmounted by a fan-like or triangular radiating device in the upper portion, all contained within a roughly circular flan. The design is executed in low relief with bold, deeply incised dividing lines characteristic of early archaic Ionian coinage. No inscription or legend present. The overall composition is purely geometric, reflecting the earliest conventions of electrum coinage production in western Anatolia. |

| Reverse description | Incuse wheel or star pattern featuring a central boss or pellet from which approximately ten radiating spokes or lines extend outward toward the rim, dividing the field into alternating raised and recessed triangular segments. The design fills the entire flan and is rendered in crisp, deeply struck incuse relief, characteristic of the Lydo-Milesian electrum coinage tradition. No legend or inscription is present. This wheel motif is a well-attested type among archaic Ionian fractional electrum issues of the late seventh and early sixth centuries BC. |
