| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the archaic-to-classical Carian style with long flowing hair falling behind the neck in carefully engraved strands. The laurel wreath is clearly articulated across the brow, and the facial features display the characteristic idealized treatment of 4th-century BC Greek civic bronzes. The field is otherwise plain, with no surrounding legend or border. |

| Reverse description | Prow of a warship (trireme) advancing to the right, with the three oar-banks (outriggers) rendered as parallel horizontal lines tapering to a pointed ram at right. A lit torch appears above the prow, serving as a civic symbol of Knidos. The Greek legend ΚΝΙ ΘΕΥ is disposed across the upper field to either side of the torch, referencing the city name (Knidion) and the magistrate's abbreviated name beginning Theu-. |
