| Obverse description | A centaur depicted in right-facing motion, rendered in bold archaic relief, forcibly carrying off a struggling nymph. The nymph is shown in a kneeling or crouching posture, her body turned and arms outstretched in a gesture of resistance or protestation. The figures are executed in the vigorous, narrative style characteristic of early Thraco-Macedonian coinage, with musculature and drapery rendered in summary but expressive detail. The design fills the flan with no visible legend or exergue. |

| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square dominating the entire reverse field, divided by a raised cross-bar into four recessed compartments of roughly equal size, as typical of early hammered coinage struck by the incuse technique. The compartments are plain and undecorated, showing the characteristic rough, sunken surfaces produced by the incuse punch. No legend, symbol, or secondary device is present. |
