| Obverse description | Helle depicted as a draped female figure seated facing left astride a ram, which strides to the left with its head turned forward. The fleece of the ram is rendered in detailed raised pellets arranged in rows across the body and haunches. Helle leans slightly forward, her garment rendered in flowing folds, her right arm raised toward the ram's neck in a gesture of balance or supplication. The composition fills the flan with bold high relief typical of fine 4th-century BC Mysian die-cutting, with no legend or inscription in the field. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of the winged horse Pegasus facing left, depicted in vigorous motion with the forelegs raised and the neck arched. The large wing is prominently rendered with boldly incised feathers fanning upward and to the right, filling much of the field. The mane is carefully detailed with engraved striations, and the musculature of the chest and shoulder is modelled in high relief. The reverse is set within a shallow incuse square, consistent with the hammered fabric of Lampsakene electrum and gold staters of this period. No inscription or legend appears in the field. |
