| Obverse description | Forepart of a cow facing right, rendered in low relief in the archaic Greek style. The animal's head is turned back to suckle a calf, a characteristic and emblematic device of Korkyran coinage. The figures are set within a plain circular field on an irregularly shaped flan typical of early struck silver issues. No legend or inscription accompanies the design. |

| Reverse description | A large grape bunch with prominent individual berries rendered in high relief, suspended from a vine with tendrils and leaves visible at the upper corners of the field. The bunch fills the majority of the coin's surface, a motif closely associated with Korkyra's agricultural prosperity and its appearance on the island's coinage throughout the Classical period. The design is set within a plain circular border with no accompanying legend. |
