| Obverse description | Laureate head of Homer facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with broad features and a wreath of leaves encircling the head. The portrait is set within a plain, unadorned field typical of small Aegean bronze coinage. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck production of the Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | A tall palm tree occupies the centre of the reverse field, its fronds spreading symmetrically to either side in a stylised manner characteristic of Hellenistic civic bronzes. The ethnic inscription of Ios is divided by the trunk of the palm tree, with letters appearing to the left and right. The design is boldly struck but shows the shallow relief typical of small-module Aegean issues. |
