| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tyche facing right, wearing a turreted mural crown with multiple battlements rendered in fine parallel ridges, her hair swept back beneath the crown. The effigy is executed in a robust Hellenistic style with clearly defined facial features including a pronounced nose and chin. The field is plain and unlettered, with the portrait occupying the majority of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Cornucopia (horn of plenty) depicted upright in the central field, filled with fruits and foliage, its voluted tip curving to the left. The civic ethnic legend ΛAOΔIKEΩN is inscribed in Greek characters around the field, partially to the right and left of the central device. The composition reflects standard Hellenistic civic bronze coinage iconography, with the cornucopia serving as a symbol of prosperity and abundance. |
