| Obverse description | Ram advancing to the left in a naturalistic, archaic style, the animal rendered with compact musculature and a prominent curled fleece. The legs are depicted in a striding pose, with fine details visible in the hooves and facial features. The Greek letters K and E appear in the left field, serving as the ethnic abbreviation for Kebren. The coin's irregular flan and hammered fabric are characteristic of early Archaic Troadean coinage. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square punch divided into four quadrants by a cruciform pattern, a technique typical of early Archaic Greek coinage of Asia Minor. The quadrants display varying degrees of relief, with a small ram's head or animal protome visible in one section, echoing the obverse type. The incuse is deeply struck and irregular in outline, consistent with primitive hammered coinage of the late sixth to early fifth century BC. |
