| Obverse description | Bare head of a young, beardless male facing right, rendered in archaic-to-early classical style with short, closely cropped hair indicated by fine incised striations. The facial features are modeled in high relief with a strong profile, prominent nose, and slightly parted lips. The neck is broad and unadorned, set against a plain, unlettered field. The overall style is consistent with Cretan coinage production of the 4th century BC. |

| Reverse description | A Delphic tripod cauldron depicted facing, rendered frontally in high relief within a circular incuse border. The cauldron sits atop three legs terminating in animal-paw feet, flanked by two tall upright handles rising above the bowl. A circular ring or lebes crown surmounts the cauldron. The design is bold and schematic, typical of the geometric rendering favored on Cretan silver coinage of the 4th century BC. The field is plain with no legend or additional devices. |
