| Obverse description | Draped bust of Artemis facing left, her hair bound and partially covered by a veil, with the tip of a quiver visible over her right shoulder. The portraiture is rendered in the Hellenistic style, with fine facial features and loose curls framing the neck. The field is plain, and the flan shows the characteristic irregular edge of a hand-struck bronze issue. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Artemis Pergaia striding vigorously to the right, clad in a short chiton, her right hand extended and holding a lighted torch while her left arm grasps a bow. The Greek legend APTEMIΔOΣ ΠEPΓAIAΣ, meaning 'of Artemis of Perge', is disposed around the figure in the field, confirming the civic cult identity of the goddess. The composition reflects the well-attested Hellenistic iconographic tradition of the patron deity of Perge in active, dynamic pose. |
