| Obverse description | Draped bust of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Achaean civic bronzes of the mid-third century AD. A dotted border frames the design. The surface shows considerable wear consistent with the coin's age and circulation. |

| Reverse description | Athena standing right, a round shield slung over her left shoulder and a spear held in her left hand, while her right hand extends outward presenting a Corinthian helmet. The figure is rendered in the classical Athenian civic tradition, reflecting the city's enduring use of its patron deity as the principal reverse type. The ethnic legend ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ appears in the field. |
