| Obverse description | Ram's head in right profile, rendered in bold archaic relief, with clearly delineated fleece texturing along the neck and jaw. A dolphin swims to the right beneath the ram's neck truncation, its body curving gracefully within the confined flan. The design is characteristically compact and stylized, consistent with the early Classical coinage of the Phokian region. |

| Reverse description | Facing head of a goat depicted in bold frontal aspect, the broad muzzle and curving horns rendered in high archaic relief. Two dolphins flank the central motif, oriented vertically with heads downward on either side, a distinctive and recurring type associated with Delphi's sacred iconography. The field shows the characteristic rough texture of a hammered flan, with no inscription or legend present. |
