| Obverse description | Draped female head facing left, hair elaborately bound in a sakkos with loose tresses visible at the nape and crown. A pendant earring, likely crescent-shaped, is discernible below the ear, adding refinement to the portrait. The facial features are rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of Aeolian civic coinage of the fourth century BC, with softly modeled cheeks and a well-defined profile. No legend appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | An amphora depicted centrally in the field, its body broad and rounded with a narrow neck and two handles, set within a dotted border. To the left, a caduceus — the herald's staff with intertwined serpents — stands vertically alongside the vessel. Above the amphora, a bunch of grapes hangs from a vine, and to the right, a single grain ear rises upward, together symbolizing the agricultural prosperity of the region. The partial civic legend ΛΑΡ[Ι] appears in the lower field beneath the amphora, identifying the issuing city. |
