| Obverse description | Forepart of a recumbent lion facing left, rendered in high relief with elaborate mane detailing, occupying the central field of the flan. The lion's body is depicted in a crouching posture with musculature carefully articulated, characteristic of archaic Ionian artistic style. The design is contained within a plain incuse border, with a granular or striated surface texture visible in the field surrounding the device. No inscription or legend appears on this face. |

| Reverse description | Three incuse punch impressions arranged vertically on the reverse, each containing a floral or stellate pattern. The central rectangular punch displays a recumbent lion or similar device, flanked above and below by square and rectangular incuse squares each bearing a rosette or star motif. This multi-punch reverse is characteristic of early electrum coinage struck at Miletos during the archaic period, produced by a single anvil die with multiple subsidiary punches. |
