| Obverse description | Dove flying left in high relief, wings fully extended and spread upward, tail feathers fanned outward, rendered in a naturalistic yet stylized manner characteristic of Sikyonian coinage. The bird occupies the full flan with bold, fluid lines conveying motion. The field is smooth and unadorned, with no legend or additional devices. This dove motif served as the principal civic symbol of Sikyon throughout its silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Large sigma (Σ) rendered as a broad, monogram-like letter dominating the center of the reverse, set within a shallow incuse square. The magistrate's name ΘΡΑΣΥΚΛΗΣ is distributed around the central sigma, with letters arranged in the field to the left and right of the symbol. The incuse square has straight, well-defined borders. The overall design is typical of late Hellenistic Sikyonian fractional silver, where the magistrate's name identifies the issuing authority. |
