| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in archaic Hellenistic style with bold, slightly coarse engraving characteristic of provincial Macedonian bronze coinage. The laurel wreath is visible crowning the deity's hair, with facial features including a defined eye, nose, and jaw portrayed in profile. The flan is irregular and somewhat broad, with the portrait centrally placed within the field. No legends or border decoration are present. |

| Reverse description | A horse depicted grazing or standing to the left, with head lowered toward the ground, rendered in a sturdy, compact style typical of Macedonian civic bronze issues. The animal's body is well-modelled in relief, showing the forelegs, hindquarters, and tail. The field is plain with no surrounding legend or exergual inscription, consistent with the anonymous civic coinage of Alexandreia in Macedon during the Hellenistic period. |
