| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a recessed square field bordered by a beaded dotted frame, the silphium plant is depicted in the left portion of the design, its distinctive stalk and foliage rendered in archaic relief. To the right, a large lion's head faces left in bold relief, with a silphium fruit positioned beneath the jaw. The composition is characteristic of the early Kyrenean coinage, which prominently celebrated the silphium plant — the city's most prized commercial commodity — alongside leonine imagery drawn from North African iconography. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a recessed incuse square, an eagle's head is depicted facing right in profile, rendered in the archaic style with sharp, stylized detailing. The eagle grasps a writhing serpent firmly in its beak, a motif emblematic of divine power and predatory dominance. The incuse reverse is typical of early Greek colonial coinage of the late archaic period, providing a bold contrast to the raised obverse design. |
