| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in archaic style typical of Troad civic bronze coinage. The goddess wears a crested Attic helmet. The fabric is irregular and the flan small, consistent with early municipal bronze issues of Assos. The surface shows typical patination and minor striking weakness. |

The creature is shown with open beak and prominent wing, a civic emblem associated with Assos in the Troad. The ethnic inscription ΑΣΣΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The overall design is bold despite the small module of the flan. |
