| Obverse description | Bearded head of Zeus Ammon facing right, characterized by the distinctive ram's horn curling behind the ear, rendered in the archaic to early Hellenistic style typical of Mysian civic bronzes. The hair is shown in loose, wavy locks falling around the face. The flan is small and irregularly shaped, with the portrait occupying most of the available field. No legend or border is present on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A bird, most likely an eagle or dove, depicted standing and facing left with wings folded against the body, rendered in a simple but characteristic Hellenistic provincial style. The Greek ethnic inscription ΠITA appears in the field surrounding the bird, serving as the city abbreviation for Pitane. The design fills the small flan with minimal border, consistent with the low-denomination civic bronze coinage of Mysian city-states. |
