Obverse description Crude head of Artemis facing right, rendered in low relief characteristic of small provincial bronze coinage of the period. The portrait is schematically executed, with summary facial features typical of the local die-cutting tradition of Ioulis on Keos. The hair appears swept back, and the overall style reflects the modest artistic standard of this minor Aegean mint.

Reverse description Crude floral or branch motif, possibly a palm branch or stylized plant spray, occupying the central field. The design is rendered in a highly schematic fashion consistent with the small module and crude workmanship typical of this series from Ioulis. The flat, worn surfaces of the flan limit fine detail, but the botanical element is characteristic of Keian civic bronze coinage of this era.
