| Obverse description | Eagle standing to left in profile, wings folded, rendered in archaic relief with fine feather detailing across the body and wing coverts. The bird is depicted with characteristic bold contour lines typical of Thracian mint engraving of the late fifth century BC. The figure occupies the majority of the flan, set against a plain field. The coin is struck on an irregularly shaped flan consistent with hammered coinage of this period and region. |

| Reverse description | A grain ear depicted in left profile, with multiple kernels rendered in relief, occupying the left portion of the flan. To the right, within an incuse square or shallow depression, the ethnic abbreviation of Selymbria appears in two Greek letters arranged vertically. The design is characteristic of the agricultural symbolism common to Thracian Propontic city coinage of the fifth century BC, combining civic identity with an emblem of local prosperity. |
