| Obverse description | Lion in profile to right, shown attacking a bull that collapses to the left with head raised in distress. The predator seizes its prey in a dynamic, naturalistic composition characteristic of archaic Macedonian coinage. The lion's tail hangs pendant. A magistrate's name appears in the exergue below the central design group. |
