| Obverse description | Winged female figure, identified as a goddess or Nike, depicted in the kneeling-running pose (knielauf) facing right, with large spread wings prominently displayed on either side of the body. The figure wears a long draped chiton and is rendered in the Archaic to early Classical artistic style characteristic of Karian civic coinage. The exergue and surrounding field are plain and granular, typical of hammered silver fabric. |

| Reverse description | Incuse square field containing a large triangular geometric design, rendered in deep relief against the recessed background, a type characteristic of early Kaunian silver coinage. The Greek letters Δ and Γ (or Κ) appear flanking the apex of the triangle on left and right respectively, serving as civic or magistrate initials. The incuse technique and geometric motif reflect the archaic monetary tradition of the region. |
