| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in archaic Hellenistic style with wavy hair pulled back beneath a laurel wreath. The portrait displays typical third-century BC civic coinage conventions, with well-defined facial features visible despite the coin's small module. The flan is slightly irregular, characteristic of hammered bronze issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Horse grazing right, depicted with naturalistic musculature in a posture of quiet repose with head lowered to the ground. A wreath appears above the horse in the upper field, and a grain ear is placed beneath the animal in the exergue. The ethnic inscription ΑΛΕ appears in the field, serving as an abbreviated reference to the issuing city of Alexandreia Troas. |
