| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a raised crest, rendered in a bold archaic-to-classical transitional style characteristic of fourth-century BC Asia Minor bronze coinage. The facial features are modeled with moderate relief, showing a strong profile with defined brow and chin. The neck and lower helmet detail exhibit fine engraving consistent with the Adramyttion civic mint tradition. |

| Reverse description | A horseman galloping to the right, depicted in dynamic pose with the rider leaning forward over the horse's neck, rendered in a compact, energetic style typical of fourth-century BC Mysian civic bronzes. The horse is shown at full gallop with legs extended. The ethnic inscription ΑΔΡΑ appears partially in the field, serving as the city abbreviation for Adramyttion. The overall composition fills the flan with bold, if somewhat worn, relief. |
