| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet. The drapery falls over the shoulder in typical provincial style of the period. The bust is rendered in a somewhat crude but characteristically Athenian provincial manner, with the helmet crest visible above the head. No legend appears on the obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Apollo, nude, striding to the right in a dynamic pose, his right arm raised above his head while his left hand rests upon a lyre set upon a rock at his side. The figure is rendered in the classical Apolline iconographic tradition common to Athenian civic bronze coinage of the Imperial period. The ethnic legend ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ curves around the reverse field. |
