| Obverse description | Forepart of a lion advancing to right, the head turned frontally, with one foreleg extended; the mane is rendered in detailed relief with a scale-like and striated pattern. A monogram appears on the shoulder of the animal. The design is executed in the archaic style characteristic of early Carian coinage, with bold and vigorous modeling of the leonine musculature. |

| Reverse description | Two adjacent incuse rectangular punches of unequal size, produced by the hammer strike of the reverse die; the larger punch to the left displays a rough, irregular surface, while the smaller punch to the right retains a smoother, recessed field. This incuse arrangement is typical of early archaic Greek and Anatolian silver coinage, serving as authentication of the silver flan rather than carrying a pictorial device. |
