| Obverse description | Youthful head of a nymph facing left, rendered in fine archaic-to-early Classical Greek style. The hair is depicted in loose, flowing waves swept back from the forehead, with individual locks carefully articulated in relief. The facial features are delicate and idealized, with a prominent eye, well-defined nose, and subtly parted lips. No legend or inscription appears in the field. The flan is slightly irregular, typical of hand-struck silver issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Facing bucranium (bull's head) depicted frontally within a shallow incuse square, rendered in bold relief characteristic of early Macedonian coinage. The horns extend broadly to either side, and the muzzle and facial features of the bull are rendered with naturalistic detail. The abbreviation ΔΙΚ, identifying the issuing city of Dikaia, is distributed within the incuse square — letters flanking and below the central device. Additional small symbols appear in the corners of the incuse square. |
