| Obverse description | Radiate head of Helios in right-facing profile, rendered in fine Hellenistic style. The deity wears a radiate crown with incuse lines suggesting individual rays emanating from the hair, with flowing locks cascading behind the neck. The facial features are finely modelled with a pronounced eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The neck is draped, and the overall workmanship reflects the accomplished engraving tradition of Rhodian mint production. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A forepart of a rose in three-quarter view occupies the central field, the emblematic device of Rhodes, rendered in high relief. The magistrate's name ΔΙΟΓΝΗΤΟΣ is inscribed in Greek letters along the upper arc of the field, while the ethnic abbreviation Ρ Ο appears flanking the lower portion of the rose. The entire design is enclosed within a neat border of raised pellets. A small star or floral symbol appears in the lower right field as a secondary control mark. |
