| Obverse description | Cow standing to the right in high relief, suckling a calf which stands beneath her facing left. The calf's head is turned upward toward the udder. Above the cow's back, a stylized dolphin or sea creature curves to the left within the field. The composition is rendered in a bold, archaic Greek style with strong three-dimensional modeling typical of Illyrian coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Double stellate or floral pattern divided into two panels within a recessed square incuse, each panel displaying four elongated tear-drop or leaf-shaped pellets arranged symmetrically around a central cluster of dots, creating a decorative geometric design. A small crab is depicted in relief above the central dividing line at the top of the incuse square. The letters ΔΥ appear to the left and Ρ to the right of the square in the outer field. Below the incuse square, a horizontal object, possibly a fish or decorative element, is depicted in the exergue. |
