| Obverse description | Draped bust of Kore (Persephone) facing right, her hair bound with a wreath, rendered in archaic-to-classical Greek style with flowing locks framing the face. The portrait occupies the central field of the flan, with fine die-engraving evident in the facial features and hair detail. The field is otherwise plain. |

| Reverse description | Facing view of the iconic Boeotian shield of Ajax, depicted in relief with the characteristic lateral cutouts clearly defined by concentric border lines. Centrally placed within the shield is a sword in its sheath, serving as the emblem of the Salaminian hero Ajax. The Greek legend ΣΑΛΑ is distributed around the shield in the field, reading partially to the left and right. The composition is bold and heraldic, typical of Cypriot civic bronze coinage of the 4th century BC. |
