| Obverse description | Griffin seated to right upon an ornamental pedestal, its mouth open and wings raised, with the left forepaw lifted in a characteristic heraldic pose. The creature is rendered in a bold, archaic style typical of Ionian coinage of the late sixth and early fifth centuries BC, with close attention to musculature and feather detail. The field is plain and unlettered, the flan irregular as is standard for hammered issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Deep quadripartite incuse square divided into four roughly equal triangular sections by two intersecting diagonal ridges, forming the characteristic mill-sail or windmill pattern common to early archaic Greek silver coinage. The incuse is boldly struck and occupies nearly the entire reverse field, with no legend or additional devices. The surface within each quadrant is slightly sunken and striated from the die punch. |
