| Obverse description | Forepart of a boar in full stride to right, rendered in a bold and schematic style characteristic of early Bactrian coinage. The animal's bristled mane is indicated by a row of short incised lines along the neck and spine, and the snout is prominently thrust forward. The musculature of the shoulder and foreleg is summarily but vigorously modeled in relief. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Stylized head of a lion facing right, depicted in a highly schematic manner within a square incuse punch. The mane is rendered as a series of parallel horizontal lines occupying the left portion of the design, while the facial features — including a globular eye and angular snout — are boldly articulated in relief. A small pellet appears below the chin. The square incuse recess, a hallmark of early Greek-influenced coinage in the region, frames the entire composition. |
