Obverse description Bare-headed, bearded bust of Poseidon facing right, with characteristic curly hair and full beard rendered in low relief. A trident is visible at the left shoulder, serving as the god's principal divine attribute. The portrait is executed in the provincial Greek style, with no surrounding legend in the field. The flan shows typical irregularities consistent with hand-struck municipal bronze coinage of the Hadrianic period.

Reverse description Artemis depicted as huntress, clad in a short belted chiton, striding vigorously to the right in a dynamic pose. She carries a bow in her right hand and a torch in her left, with a quiver visible at her right shoulder. A hunting hound accompanies her at her side, reinforcing her identity as goddess of the hunt. The ethnic legend ΑΝΤΙΚΥΡΕΩΝ curves around the design in Greek majuscules, identifying the issuing civic authority of Anticyra in Phocis.
