| Obverse description | Forepart of a horse galloping to the right, rendered in archaic relief with bold, summary modeling characteristic of small Macedonian fractional silver coinage. The horse's neck is arched and the forelegs are extended in full stride. No legend or border ornament is present; the design occupies the entire irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A trident head displayed upright within a shallow incuse square, the three tines clearly articulated and symmetrically arranged. The incuse recess is the result of the hammered striking technique. The trident is an emblematic device of Poseidon, the patron deity of Potidaia, and serves as the city's primary reverse type across its coinage. No inscription or exergual marking is present. |
