| Obverse description | Facing right, the diademed head of the nymph Rhodes rendered in fine archaic-to-classical style, adorned with a necklace and pendant earrings. The hair is swept back beneath the diadem, with individual locks visible along the forehead and nape. The portrait displays the characteristic soft modelling associated with Rhodian bronze coinage of the early Hellenistic period. The field is plain, with no additional devices or legend. |

| Reverse description | A rose in bud, the city's emblematic device, occupies the central field, its stem and calyx clearly articulated. An ivy leaf appears in the left field as a secondary device. The ethnic abbreviation of the issuing city is divided between the left and right fields, flanking the central design. The overall composition is typical of the small bronze coinage struck by Rhodes during the late Classical and early Hellenistic periods. |
