| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Aineias facing left, depicted with a light beard and wearing a crested Corinthian helmet, the cheekpieces framing the face in the archaic Greek tradition. The portrait is rendered in a bold, early Classical style with strong facial features. The field is plain and unlettered. |

| Reverse description | A raised quadripartite incuse square divided by a bold cruciform ridge into four recessed compartments, forming the characteristic mill-sail or windmill pattern of early Greek coinage. The ethnic legend AINEAS is distributed around the raised border of the incuse square, with the letters arranged in the shallow surrounding field. The overall design is characteristic of northern Aegean minting conventions of the mid-fifth century BC. |
