| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with olive leaves on the bowl. The effigy is rendered in archaic style consistent with late Classical Athenian small silver coinage. The flan is small and irregular, as typical of fractional hammered silver issues. |

| Reverse description | A crescent moon flanking the abbreviation ΑΘΕ (for ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ, 'of the Athenians') arranged within the curve, accompanied by an olive spray below, all set within a shallow incuse square. The design elements — crescent, ethnic abbreviation, and olive sprig — are characteristic reverse types of late Classical Athenian fractional silver coinage. |
