| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis depicted facing, rendered in low relief with hair loosely arranged and bound at the crown. A quiver is visible at her right shoulder, serving as the goddess's characteristic attribute. The face is rendered in a frontal, slightly archaic Hellenistic style with schematic facial features. The field is plain and unadorned, with no encircling legend. |

| Reverse description | A warrior clad in full military attire stands facing left in a composed contrapposto stance. He rests his left arm upon an upright spear and his right arm upon an akrostolion (ship's stern ornament), while his right foot is placed upon a prora (ship's prow), alluding to naval prowess. The abbreviated ethnic legend ΔΑΡ, referencing the issuing city of Dardanos, appears in the field. The composition is characteristic of Hellenistic civic bronze coinage of the Troad region. |
