| Obverse description | Eagle depicted in full flight to the left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed feathering across the wings and body. The bird's talons are prominently extended downward, conveying dynamic movement characteristic of Cretan coinage of this period. The composition fills the flan in a bold, naturalistic style typical of late Classical Greek engraving. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Head of a wild boar facing left in high relief, with characteristic bristled mane rendered by fine parallel lines along the crest of the neck and head. The snout, eye, and tusk are clearly articulated in a confident, naturalistic style. The design is contained within a dotted border forming an inner square, itself set within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of archaic and early Classical Cretan coinage. The ethnic legend ΛYTTION is distributed around the boar's head within the dotted square. |
