Obverse description	Youthful laureate head of the Demos facing right, with short curling hair beneath the laurel wreath, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic civic portrait tradition. The bust is truncated at the shoulder. The Greek legend ΔΗΜοϹ is distributed in the field to either side of the portrait, identifying the personification of the people of Mostene. The coin is enclosed within a dotted border.

Reverse description	Apollo-Tyrimnaios, the local dynastic deity of Mostene, depicted on horseback moving to the right, wearing a radiate crown and a chlamys draped over his otherwise nude body. The god carries a double axe (labrys) over his right shoulder, a characteristic attribute of this Lydian syncretistic deity. Beneath the horse's raised foreleg stands a lighted altar, and to the right rises a cypress tree. The ethnic legend ΜΟϹΤΗΝΩΝ curves around the design within a dotted border.
