| Obverse description | Forepart of a goat's head facing right, rendered in bold relief with visible horns curving backward and a pronounced muzzle. The naturalistic portrait displays characteristic Aeolic archaic style, with carefully delineated facial features and a slightly textured surface suggesting the animal's coat. The design fills the flan in an assured, compact composition typical of small-denomination silver coinage from Aeolis. |

| Reverse description | A large multi-petalled rosette with a central pellet boss occupying the full field, its broad, rounded petals radiating symmetrically outward in high relief. The floral motif is the civic badge of Kyme in Aeolis. The abbreviated ethnic inscription ΚΥ is placed within the field, with Κ positioned above and Υ below the central boss, identifying the issuing city. |
