| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with visible cheek guards and neck flap. The goddess's facial features are rendered in a competent Hellenistic style, with a strong profile and naturalistic modeling. The surface bears an attractive olive-green patina consistent with ancient bronze coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Goat standing left in a static pose, rendered in profile with characteristic horns and beard visible. The figure occupies the central field of the flan, with the ethnic legend ΑΙΓΕΑΙΩΝ partially visible above or around the goat, referencing the civic identity of the issuing polis. The design is typical of Hellenistic civic bronze coinage, with the goat serving as the emblematic symbol of Aigeai, whose name derives from the Greek word for goat. |
