| Obverse description | A male goat rendered in high relief, kneeling to the right with its head turned back to the left, the body depicted with careful attention to musculature and fleece texture. The animal's curved horns and beard are prominently rendered in the archaic style characteristic of early Macedonian coinage. The monogram ΔΕ appears in the upper left field, serving as an ethnic abbreviation for the issuing city of Aegae. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, a hallmark of early fifth-century Greek silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square formed by two deeply recessed channels crossing at right angles, dividing the reverse field into four equal sunken compartments. Each quadrant displays a roughly granular, slightly concave surface resulting from the hammered incuse technique employed in early Greek coinage. The incuse square fills the majority of the flan, with no additional devices, inscriptions, or ornamental elements present. This type of reverse is characteristic of archaic Macedonian silver issues of the early Classical period. |
