A dark gray silver coin features a boar in relief facing right, standing upon a thin, hatched ground line. The animal has a prominent notched mane along its arched back and a small U-shaped mark above its spine. Small pits and smoothed details appear across the metallic surface, marking signs of wear. The coin's edges are irregular, framing the sturdy silhouette of the animal against its worn, slightly lustrous background.
