| Obverse description | Bare head of the river god Strymon facing right, rendered in a somewhat rustic provincial style typical of Thracian civic bronzes. The hair is rendered in wavy locks swept back from the forehead, with traces of a wreath or reed crown visible above the brow. The portrait fills the flan with little remaining field visible. The facial features are boldly modelled though showing signs of worn die work. |

| Reverse description | Upright trident with three prongs occupying the central field, flanked by traces of a blundered or degenerate Greek inscription in the surrounding field. The legend, intended to identify the issuing community of the Serdi, is poorly executed and largely illegible, a characteristic feature of later provincial Thracian bronzes struck with deteriorated or carelessly cut dies. The overall style of the reverse is coarse, consistent with a peripheral Macedonian or Thracian mint of the late Hellenistic period. |
