| Aversbeschreibung | Forepart of a boar advancing to the right, rendered in a bold archaic style typical of Karian civic coinage of the fifth century BC. The animal's bristled mane and powerful musculature are summarily but forcefully indicated on the small flan. The design occupies the entirety of the obverse field with no legend or border. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Laureate and bearded male head facing right, depicted within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage. The wreath of laurel is rendered with careful detail despite the diminutive size of the flan, and the beard is shown with parallel striated lines in the archaic convention. The portrait is set without inscription within the incuse, consistent with the anonymous civic issues of Karia during this period. |

Euromus, a minor Karian city near Mylasa, issued coins at a time when fractional silver coinage served the granular demands of local market exchange — a tetartemorion being one quarter of an obol, itself one sixth of a drachm. At 0.21g, this is about as small as ancient hand-struck coinage gets without losing functional coherence entirely.
The city later became more prominent under Macedonian and then Seleukid influence, but these early Karian issues predate that political absorption entirely.
