| Obverse description | Bare head of Apollo facing right, laureate with laurel wreath and taenia, rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of late 4th-century Macedonian coinage. The hair is elaborately dressed with flowing locks swept back from the forehead and tied with a fillet, framed by a dotted border. The portrait displays fine sculptural modeling with strong classical features. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Nude youth on horseback galloping to the right, depicted in dynamic motion with the rider leaning forward and both forelegs of the horse raised. The legend ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ arcs across the upper field. Beneath the horse, a forepart of a lion facing right serves as a control symbol. The mint monogram Λ-Υ appears in the exergue, referencing the issuing mint of Lysimacheia. The composition follows the established Macedonian bronze coinage typology originally associated with Philip II. |
