| Obverse description | Bare head of youthful Pan facing left, rendered with curly hair swept back from the brow and secured by a taenia. A short animal ear protrudes prominently above the temple, and a small horn rises from the forehead, both characteristic attributes of the rustic deity. The facial features are modelled with a refined Hellenistic sensibility, displaying a softly rounded chin and a slightly parted mouth. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | A hound seated to the right on a ground line, depicted in a composed, alert posture with its head raised and forelegs extended. The animal's form is rendered with careful attention to anatomical detail typical of Hellenistic Cretan coinage, reflecting the city's celebrated tradition of hunting. The abbreviated ethnic legend KY appears in the upper field to the left of the hound, identifying the issuing city of Kydonia. |
