Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Kore-Soteira facing left, her hair elaborately dressed and bound with a wreath of grain ears, rendered in fine fourth-century Greek style. A small stag's head appears behind the main effigy, serving as a subsidiary type characteristic of Kyzikene coinage. The Greek legend ΣΩΤΕΙΡΑ (Soteira, meaning 'Saviour') is inscribed in the field, identifying the deity represented. The modelling of the face is accomplished with subtle relief, reflecting the high artistic standards of Mysian die-engravers of this period.

Beschrijving keerzijde Forepart of a lion facing left rendered in bold, vigorous relief with dramatically flowing mane depicted in deeply cut parallel ridges, characteristic of the dynamic style of fourth-century Kyzikene coinage. A tunny fish, the civic emblem of Kyzikos, appears below the lion's chin as an identifying mint symbol. To the right of the design, the abbreviated civic legend ΚΥ ΞΙ is inscribed vertically in the field. The composition is set within a broad, flat flan with an irregular, hammered fabric typical of Greek silver coinage of this era.
