| Obverse description | Protome of a winged horse (Pegasos) facing left in high relief, with the forelegs extended forward and the wing rendered in bold striated lines rising above the back. The figure is rendered in the archaic Greek style characteristic of late 6th to early 5th century BC coinage from Asia Minor. The design occupies most of the flan, with the surface showing the irregular texture typical of hammered silver fabric. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | An eight-pointed star or wheel motif with a central pellet, formed by four broad incuse grooves radiating from the centre and creating alternating raised and recessed triangular segments, all contained within a shallow incuse square. The design is deeply impressed into the flan by the reverse punch, a technique common to archaic Asia Minor fractional silver coinage. No legend is present. The incuse square has slightly irregular edges consistent with hand-struck production. |
