| Obverse description | Laureate male head facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of late Republican-era Carian civic bronzes. The hair is depicted with bold parallel striations swept back from the brow, consistent with representations of Apollo. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, with the neck truncation visible at the lower edge. The surfaces exhibit an even olive-green patina with areas of earthen encrustation. No legend is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Standing male deity, likely Apollo, depicted facing with legs apart in a dynamic pose, holding a bow in the left hand and an arrow or branch in the right. The figure is rendered in a bold, somewhat schematic style characteristic of provincial Hellenistic bronze coinage. The ethnic legend ΑΡΠΑΣΗΝΩΝ is disposed in two vertical columns flanking the central figure, left and right respectively. The coin exhibits pronounced green patina with areas of surface granulation. |
