| Obverse description | Ivy-wreathed head of Dionysos facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style with curling locks visible beneath the wreath. The portrait is boldly executed with strong facial features typical of 3rd century BC Ionian civic coinage. The flan is slightly irregular, with the bust occupying the majority of the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | A small bunch of grapes occupies the central field, serving as the principal type emblematic of the Dionysiac iconographic programme. The Greek legend, arranged in multiple lines surrounding the central motif, identifies the city and its autonomous status. The overall composition is characteristic of autonomous civic bronze issues from Erythrai in the Hellenistic period. |
