| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in archaic-to-classical Greek style with coarse but expressive die work. The laurel wreath is visible atop the deity's head, with facial features summarily but recognizably depicted. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately worn, consistent with a bronze civic issue of the Troad region. |

| Reverse description | Eagle standing to right with wings closed, depicted in a sturdy, stylized manner typical of fourth-century Troadean bronze coinage. A trident is placed to the right of the eagle, serving as a civic emblem. The ethnic abbreviation ΑΒΥ appears to the left in the field, referencing the issuing city of Abydos. The overall composition is well-centered despite the irregular flan. |
