| Opis awersu |
Facing janiform head occupying the entire field: on the left, a male head rendered in archaic Greek style with a laureate or wreathed coiffure, and on the right, a female head facing right, displaying carefully incised hair arranged in wavy locks. The two heads share a common neck and are depicted in close juxtaposition, a design motif derived from Athenian and Phoenician prototypes. The surfaces show the characteristic irregular flan and slightly ragged edges typical of hand-hammered Philistian coinage of the Persian period. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Opis rewersu |
Head of Athena facing right, helmeted in an Attic crested helmet adorned with an olive branch or floral motif at the crest, rendered within a shallow incuse square with rounded corners. The facial features — almond-shaped eye, prominent nose, and closed lips — are executed in a provincial imitation of Athenian coinage style. The field surrounding the head is plain, and the flan is irregular and somewhat thicker at the centre, consistent with the hand-struck technique of Persian-period Philistian silver issues. No legend is present. |
