| Obverse description | Two long-horned, bearded goats displayed back-to-back in vertical opposition, their heads turned inward to face one another and their legs fully extended. The animals are rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of early fifth-century BC Aegean coinage. A three-lobed fig leaf occupies the central field between the two confronted goats, serving as a local civic emblem of Skyros. |

| Reverse description | A stellate incuse design centered on a large globule surrounded by four smaller satellite globules, with two plain rays extending toward the upper left and lower right and two three-lobed fig leaves positioned toward the upper right and lower left, forming a radially symmetric composition. The entire device is contained within a deeply struck incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek coinage technique. The fig leaf motifs echo those on the obverse, reinforcing the civic symbolism of the issue. |
