Beschrijving voorzijde A lion depicted in a vigorous walking or striding pose to the left, with its head turned forward and mane rendered in careful detail, occupying the central field of the flan. Beneath the lion, a tunny fish (tuna) is shown in profile facing left, serving as the characteristic civic badge of Kyzikos and a consistent control element on the city's electrum coinage. The figures are rendered in low relief with confident archaic-style engraving, set against a plain, slightly convex field typical of early Kyzikene staters. The irregular flan edges reflect the hand-struck hammered production technique standard for this series.

Beschrijving keerzijde A quadripartite incuse square dominates the entire reverse, formed by two intersecting raised ridges dividing the surface into four rectangular recessed compartments of roughly equal size. The incuse is deeply struck and well-centred on the irregular flan, with each quadrant exhibiting a slightly granular texture characteristic of the hammered incuse punch technique. This reverse type is the standard design employed on Kyzikene electrum staters throughout the archaic and early classical periods, serving a functional rather than decorative purpose. The plain, unlettered design confirms the absence of any mint inscription, consistent with the anonymous civic coinage tradition of Kyzikos.
