| Reverse description | Lion's head facing right in raised relief set within a deeply recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage technique. The jaws are depicted open in a fierce snarl, with a pellet eye clearly delineated above the muzzle. The incuse square border is well-defined with slightly raised margins, and the field within presents the characteristic granular texture of the hammered die. No legend or additional devices appear. |
