| Obverse description | Ram's head facing left, rendered in bold archaic style with prominent eye and detailed fleece texture. Below the ram's head, a dolphin is depicted swimming to the left. The design occupies an irregularly shaped flan typical of early Greek coinage, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Reverse description | Goat's head and neck depicted facing left within a shallow incuse square, the interior edges of which are bordered by a row of dots forming a pellet frame. The design is executed in sunken relief characteristic of early archaic Greek incuse technique, with no surrounding legend. The strong, stylized rendering of the animal is consistent with Delphic coinage of the late sixth to early fifth century BC. |
