| Obverse description | Forepart of a horse facing right, rendered in bold relief with well-defined musculature and flowing mane. The protome emerges dynamically from the left field, with the horse's neck arched and the legs partially visible below. The style is characteristic of early Classical Rhodian coinage, displaying vigorous if somewhat archaic craftsmanship. The field is plain and unlettered. |

| Reverse description | Head of a lion facing right, depicted with open jaws and naturalistic detail, set within a dotted square border executed in incuse relief. The lion's mane is rendered with stylized striations, and the overall composition fills the incuse square field. The surrounding flat border bears a regular pattern of raised dots forming the square frame. The technique is characteristic of early Classical Carian and Rhodian island coinage, combining the incuse square with a figural type. |
