| Obverse description | Forepart of a lion's paw rendered in high relief, with three prominent claws splayed upward and a rounded pad visible at the base, set against a plain, slightly concave field. The design is boldly executed in the archaic Ionian style, characteristic of early electrum coinage from Miletos. |

| Reverse description | Schematic facing lion head depicted in a simplified, stylized manner within a shallow incuse circle, flanked by four pellets arranged symmetrically in the field at the cardinal points, with a central vertical element suggesting the muzzle and nose. The overall design is rendered in low relief within the incuse square, typical of early Milesian electrum fractions. |
