| Obverse description | Crescent symbol occupying the central field, rendered in low relief on a roughly flan. The design is characteristic of the small Alexandrian bronze issues struck under Augustus, with the crescent serving as the principal type in lieu of a portrait. The flan is irregular and the surfaces are heavily patinated with green and brown encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing a standing figure in low relief, likely a deity or personification, with traces of additional design elements flanking the figure.

The flan is highly irregular and the surfaces are heavily corroded, obscuring finer details of the design. |
