Obverse description	Bare head of the deified Theophanes facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with naturalistic facial features and short curling hair. The effigy is depicted with careful attention to individualized portraiture, consistent with civic honorific coinage of the Augustan period. The Greek legend ΘΕΟϹ ΘΕΟΦΑΝΗϹ and ΜΥΤΙ are distributed in the field around the bust, identifying the subject as the divine Theophanes of Mytilene.

Reverse description	Veiled and draped bust of the deified Archedamis facing right, rendered in a dignified Hellenistic style befitting a heroized female figure. The veil falls gracefully over the elaborately dressed hair, and the drapery is indicated at the truncation of the bust. The encircling Greek legend ΘΕΑ ΑΡΧΕΔΑΜΙϹ identifies her as the goddess Archedamis, placed prominently around the portrait in the field.
