| Obverse description | Tortoise rendered in high relief, depicted dorsally with detailed carapace showing clearly articulated scutes and segmented marginal plates. The head is visible at the top, with short forelimbs extending to either side. The naturalistically modelled shell occupies the majority of the flan, set against a roughly textured field characteristic of archaic Cypriot coinage. |

| Reverse description | A wild goat with prominently curved horns and a long pendant beard stands to left in profile, rendered in archaic linear style. An ankh symbol appears above the animal's back, serving as a control mark. The entire composition is contained within a dotted border set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Cypriot silver coinage of the late Archaic period. |
