| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a decorative cheek-guard, the hair rendered in fine parallel locks falling behind the neck. The portrait is executed in the bold, slightly archaic style characteristic of Mysian civic bronzes of the Hellenistic period. The surface of the helmet shows fine engraving detail on the crest attachment and neck-guard. The field is plain, with no visible legend or supplementary devices. |

| Reverse description | Owl standing slightly to the right, rendered in three-quarter facing view with wings spread, perched upon a thunderbolt shown in horizontal orientation. The owl's head is turned to face the viewer directly, a hallmark of the Athenian iconographic tradition adapted for Adramyttion's civic coinage. A monogram appears in the right field. The ethnic legend ΑΔΡΑΜΥΤΗΝΩΝ curves around the design, identifying the issuing city. |
