| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo in right profile, rendered in fine archaic-to-classical style characteristic of Lampsakene coinage. The hair is depicted in carefully detailed locks bound by a laurel wreath, with delicate facial features including a straight nose and slightly parted lips. The portrait occupies the full field of this small flan, with no legend or exergual inscription. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of the winged horse Pegasus striding to the right, with wings partially raised. Below the figure, an astragalos (knucklebone) serves as a control symbol, flanked by the Greek letters Λ (lambda) and Α (alpha) positioned above it, serving as civic or magistrate identifiers typical of Lampsakene issues of the 4th–3rd centuries BC. |
