| Obverse description | Draped bust of Hermes facing right, wearing a broad-brimmed petasos. The youthful effigy is rendered in a competent Hellenistic style, with curled hair visible beneath the hat's brim. The coin surface shows typical patination consistent with a bronze issue of the late third to early second century BC. |

| Reverse description | Civic abbreviation ΛY-ΣI arranged in two horizontal lines within a tying barley wreath, the ears and stalks of grain rendered in fine relief encircling the central field. The wreath is tied at the base, and the legend serves as an abbreviated reference to the issuing city of Lysimacheia. The design is typical of late Hellenistic civic bronze coinage from Thrace. |
