| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with delicate facial features and a wreath of laurel encircling the hair. The portrait is executed in low relief typical of provincial bronze coinage of the period, with the neck truncation visible at the lower margin of the flan. The surface shows characteristic dark patination consistent with ancient bronze. |

| Reverse description | A goat standing right in profile, depicted with naturalistic detail including a short tail and downward-curving horns, occupying the central field of the flan. The ethnic legend AIΓAEΩN is inscribed in Greek characters, partially surrounding the animal, identifying the issuing city of Aegae in Macedon. The overall style is typical of small Hellenistic municipal bronze issues, with the design showing some weakness of strike consistent with the irregular flan. |
