| Obverse description | Draped and helmeted bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet. The goddess is depicted in the classical Athenian civic tradition, with visible drapery at the shoulder. The flan is irregular and the surface shows typical provincial bronze patination, with the portrait occupying the central field. No legible obverse legend is present. |

| Reverse description | Three canonical Athenian civic symbols arranged horizontally across the field: an amphora to the left, an olive tree at center, and an owl standing right. A palm branch appears in the exergue or to the left. The reverse follows the well-established iconographic programme of late Athenian provincial coinage, evoking the city's patron deity Athena and its legendary associations with olive cultivation and wisdom. The ethnic legend ΑΘΗ(ΝΑ)(ΙΩΝ) identifies the issuing civic authority. |
