| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine archaic-to-classical style with naturalistic detail. The god's hair falls in long, flowing locks over the neck, bound by a laurel wreath set close to the brow. The facial features are finely modelled, with a well-defined profile, prominent nose, and a serene expression characteristic of 4th-century BC Greek civic coinage. The field is plain, with no legend or additional device. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a goat's head facing right, rendered with bold, confident engraving typical of provincial Greek bronzes of the 4th century BC. The animal's curved horn is clearly delineated, and the beard and facial structure are depicted with naturalistic detail. The ethnic inscription ΑΙΓΑΕ appears in the left field in Greek majuscules, identifying the issuing city of Aegae. The composition fills the flan compactly, with the goat's head serving as a punning device on the city's name. |
