| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style with curling locks of hair beneath the laurel wreath. The portrait is modelled in relatively high relief for the small module, with the facial features displaying the characteristic idealized treatment of the god. The field is plain and uninscribed. |

| Reverse description | A kithara (lyre) displayed centrally in the field, its resonating box and strings rendered with fine detail characteristic of Carian civic bronzes. The ethnic legend AMYZONEΩΝ is disposed around the central type, referencing the city of Amyzon in Caria. The type reflects the Apolline iconographic program consistent with the obverse deity. |
