| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with detailed wavy hair and full beard rendered in the Hellenistic tradition. The effigy occupies the full obverse field with no surrounding legend. The modeling of the facial features displays strong artistic craftsmanship characteristic of Phrygian civic bronze coinage of the late Hellenistic period. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hammered provincial bronzes of this era. |

| Reverse description | Standing draped figure, likely a deity, facing front in the central field, flanked on either side by a vertical Greek inscription divided into two columns. The legend reads AKMONE to the right and MHNOΔO / ΣIΛΛΩΝ to the left, identifying the city of Akmoneia and the magistrates Menodotos and Sillon. The composition is typical of Hellenistic civic bronzes from Phrygia, with the central figure rendered in low relief and the lettering arranged in vertical columns flanking the type. |
