| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealised Hellenistic portrait style typical of early Augustan provincial coinage. The emperor's hair is styled in the characteristic capite velato arrangement with short locks swept forward over the brow. The legend ΕΛΑΙΤΩΝ curves around the left field, identifying the issuing civic authority. A dotted border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | A centrally placed poppy head on a tall stem flanked symmetrically by two upright ears of grain, forming a compact heraldic device emblematic of the agricultural fertility of the Aeolian region. The magistrate's name is distributed across the field in two lines, with ΕΠΙ positioned above the central device and ΜΝΗΣΙΘΕΟΥ split to either side and below, reading across the floral group. A dotted border encircles the composition. |
