| Obverse description | Ram's head facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with the characteristic curved horn tightly coiled and the muzzle clearly articulated. The design is boldly executed within the small flan, with the head occupying nearly the entire obverse field. The surface shows typical toning consistent with ancient silver coinage of Caria. |

| Reverse description | Lion's head facing right with jaws agape, displaying prominent teeth in a snarling pose characteristic of Carian civic coinage of the late Classical period. The mane is rendered with fine, striated lines radiating from the face, demonstrating skilled die-cutting despite the minute size of the flan. The design fills the reverse field entirely, with no legend or exergue present. |
