| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in archaic Hellenistic style with broad, bearded features. The laurel wreath is visible across the brow, with hair falling in stylized waves behind the neck. The portrait occupies the central field with no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck provincial bronze coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The paired piloi (conical caps) of the Dioskouri displayed side by side in the central field, each surmounted by a star, serving as the divine emblems of Castor and Pollux. A magistrate's name appears in the upper field above the piloi. The civic ethnic legend ΤΑΒHNΩΝ is inscribed in Greek characters along the lower exergual area, identifying the issuing city of Tabae in Karia. |
