| Obverse description | Bare head of Heracles facing right, rendered in the archaic Greek provincial style typical of small Mysian civic bronzes. The portrait is unlegended, identifying the deity by type rather than inscription, with the characteristic leonine features associated with Heracles in Hellenistic numismatic tradition. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily encrusted, but the rightward-facing bust remains discernible within the central field. |

| Reverse description | A bee depicted facing, with wings spread horizontally and body rendered schematically, a well-known civic emblem employed on the coinage of several Ionian and Mysian cities as a symbol of industry and community. The inscription ΑΚΡΑϹΙΩΤΩΝ, partially visible and distributed around the field, identifies the issuing civic authority. The design is struck on a small, irregular flan consistent with the modest denominational output of the city of Acrasus during the Severan period. |
