| Obverse description | Forepart of a winged boar facing left, rendered in bold relief with strongly modeled musculature and outstretched forelegs; the wings are depicted with finely incised feathers curling upward behind the creature's neck. The figure occupies the full width of the flan, with the snout and legs extending toward the left edge. No legend or inscription appears in the field. The style is characteristic of the archaic Rhodian-area coinage tradition. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in profile with finely modeled facial features, wearing a close-fitting Corinthian helmet with a prominent cheekpiece and a curving neck guard. The design is set within a shallow square incuse punch that frames the entire composition. The relief is crisp and well-defined, consistent with the archaic to early classical style of Rhodian Peraea coinage. No inscription or legend appears in the field. |
