| Obverse description | Amphora depicted in high relief at center, with a rounded ovoid body, short neck, and two upward-curving handles terminating below the lip; the vessel rests on a short foot and is rendered with considerable plastic volume. The amphora is set against a granular or textured field, characteristic of the archaic die-cutting tradition of Opuntian Lokris. No inscription appears on this face. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square of skew or mill-sail pattern, divided into five compartments by raised diagonal bands radiating from the center, creating a distinctive pinwheel arrangement. The lower left compartment contains the Greek letter omicron (O), serving as an abbreviated ethnic or control mark. The entire design is sunk into the flan in the incuse technique typical of early fifth-century BC Lokrian coinage. |
