| Obverse description | Stylized lion head facing right in high relief, rendered in the archaic Near Eastern artistic tradition. The facial features — including the open jaws, pronounced muzzle, and deeply modeled brow — are boldly struck in low to medium relief on the irregularly shaped flan. The treatment is schematic yet powerful, characteristic of early electrum coinage from the Asia Minor region. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A single deep incuse square punch dominates the reverse, characteristic of early archaic hammered coinage produced in Asia Minor during the late 7th to early 6th century BC. The punch is irregularly defined with rough, uneven surfaces resulting from the primitive striking technique, with no figurative design or inscription present. The incuse impression is slightly off-center on the flan, typical of the variable alignment associated with hand-struck electrum fractions of this period. |
