| Obverse description | Bare head of Artemis facing right, rendered in archaic Cretan style with coarse, thick hair; the bow and quiver are visible over the shoulder, serving as attributes identifying the deity. The portrait occupies the full flan with little remaining field. The style is typical of Hellenistic Cretan civic bronze coinage, with a somewhat rustic engraving quality. |

| Reverse description | A bucranium (ox skull) depicted facing front, rendered schematically with prominent horns curving outward and a simplified facial structure. The design fills the flan with minimal surrounding field and no visible legend, conforming to the standard reverse type of Lappa's civic bronze issues. The engraving style is bold and simple, characteristic of provincial Cretan bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period. |
