| Obverse description | Bucranium (ox skull) facing, rendered in bold relief with prominent horns curving outward to either side; a fillet is draped across the skull between the horns, a characteristic votive motif associated with sacrificial imagery. The design is centrally placed within the field, executed in the robust style typical of Phokian civic bronzes of the Hellenistic period. The abbreviated ethnic inscription ΕΛ appears in the field, referencing the mint city of Elateia. |

| Reverse description | Athena advancing to the right, depicted in full figure wearing a long chiton and a crested Attic helmet; she carries a large round shield on her left arm and brandishes a spear in her raised right hand. The warrior goddess is portrayed in a dynamic martial posture, consistent with the standard Hellenistic civic type employed by Phokian mints. The style reflects competent provincial die-cutting of the second century BC. |
