| Obverse description | Archaic female head facing left, rendered in the early Ionic style characteristic of late 6th-century Phokaian coinage. The head displays schematic, striated hair falling in parallel ridges along the neck, with a pronounced archaic facial profile. The die work is bold despite the diminutive flan, with the head occupying nearly the entire obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Plain incuse square punch of quadripartite form, divided into four recessed compartments by a raised cross-shaped ridge, typical of early Greek electrum and silver fractional coinage. The incuse design is deeply impressed into the irregular flan, with the four quarters presenting slightly uneven surfaces consistent with archaic hammered technique. |
