| Obverse description | Bare-headed male bust facing right, depicted with long flowing hair and a full beard, rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic style. The portrait, likely representing Zeus or a local deity associated with Adramyttion, fills the field with no surrounding legend. The hair falls in layered waves to the nape of the neck, and the facial features are modelled with considerable relief despite the small module. |

| Reverse description | A figure, likely Nike or a rider deity, seated or mounted atop a galloping bull moving to the right, rendered in high relief typical of late Hellenistic civic bronze coinage. The composition is dynamic, with the bull's forelegs raised in motion. The ethnic legend AΔPAMYTHNΩN is inscribed partially around the periphery of the field, identifying the issuing city of Adramyttion in Mysia. |
