Beschrijving voorzijde The Great King depicted in a running-kneeling posture facing right, rendered in schematic relief characteristic of the Achaemenid royal coinage third type. The figure wears the royal kidaris (tiara) and Median court dress, shown in profile with the upper body turned slightly toward the viewer. In his right hand he holds a spear or javelin raised upward, while his left hand extends forward grasping a bow. The flan is irregular and slightly domed, with the design occupying the full field; no inscriptions or legends are present.

Beschrijving keerzijde Incuse punch of irregular rectangular form dominating the full reverse field, subdivided by a roughly cruciform pattern into quadrants of unequal size, a hallmark of Achaemenid hammered silver coinage. Within the upper-left quadrant a small oval depression is visible, the result of the punch tool used during striking. The surface is deeply recessed with flat, granular texture contrasting with the raised obverse design. No legends, symbols, or secondary devices are present; the entire reverse serves as a functional counter-mark of authenticity and weight control.
