| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, with loose flowing hair visible beneath. The portrait is rendered in a bold, slightly archaic Hellenistic style typical of Lesbian civic coinage. The field is plain, with no visible legend or exergual inscription. |

| Reverse description | A kantharos (two-handled wine cup) depicted centrally in the field, with prominent loop handles rising above the rim and a splayed foot below. A bunch of grapes appears to the left of the kantharos. Partial Greek letters of the civic legend ΜΑΘΥΜΝΑΙΩΝ are partially visible flanking the kantharos, consistent with the coinage of Methymna on Lesbos. |
