| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic portrait style characteristic of early Imperial provincial coinage. The effigy displays short, neatly arranged hair with strands swept forward over the brow. The portrait occupies the central field with no surrounding legend, consistent with the civic coinage of the Troad region under Augustus. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet, a device emblematic of the city of Ilium and its legendary Trojan heritage. To the right of the effigy, the Greek ethnic legend ΙΛΙ (abbreviation for ΙΛΙΕΩΝ, 'of the Ilians') appears in the field. A monogram or magistrate's mark is partially visible behind the head, though heavily worn and difficult to read with certainty. |
