| Obverse description | Bull standing left in the field, head lowered as if grazing or charging, rendered in relatively high relief with anatomical detail indicated on the haunches. A bunch of grapes with tendril is depicted in the upper field above the animal's back, serving as a civic emblem. A ground line is suggested beneath the figure. The style is characteristic of late Classical Mysian bronze coinage, with a broad, open field and irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | A simplified frontal representation of a temple or altar facade rendered in linear style, framed by two upright pillars supporting a pediment. Within the central intercolumnar space, a kantharos or oenochoe is depicted in the lower field, with a decorative herringbone or laurel-branch frieze running horizontally across the entablature. A small head or protome appears within the pediment above. The ethnic legend ΠΑΡΙ is disposed in Greek characters in the flanking fields to the left and right of the temple structure. |
