| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity facing right, her hair elaborately dressed and bound in a sphendone. The facial features are rendered in a refined archaic-to-classical style characteristic of northern Aegean civic coinage of the fourth century BC. The hair is depicted with incised wavy locks visible beneath the sphendone. The field is plain and unlettered. |

| Reverse description | A single grain ear depicted upright in the center of the field, its stalk extending to the lower portion of the flan and its head rendered with naturalistic lateral spikes. The civic ethnic legend ΣΕΡΜΥΛΙΑΙΩΝ is inscribed around the device in Greek characters, referencing the issuing community of Sermyle in the Chalkidike region. The overall composition reflects the agricultural symbolism common to northern Aegean city-state bronzes of this period. |
