| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet, rendered in moderately high relief with visible facial features including a prominent nose and chin. The helmet crest curves gracefully over the head, and traces of a cheek-guard are discernible. The portrait is executed in the broad, somewhat schematic style typical of Ionian civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period. The field surrounding the effigy is plain and unlettered. |

| Reverse description | A forepart of a griffin or eagle with outstretched wings occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief with spread feathers clearly articulated. To the left and right of the central device appear small star or rosette symbols, consistent with the civic types of Phokaia. The magistrate's name ΤΙΜΟΘΕΟΣ is inscribed in Greek letters along the lower exergual line, identifying this issue with the eponymous magistrate Timotheos. The composition is characteristic of Phokaian civic bronzes of the 3rd century BC. |
