| Obverse description | Draped bust of Apollon facing right, wearing a laureate wreath, rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of second-century BC Asia Minor civic bronzes. The portrait is modelled in low relief with visible hair detail above the forehead, though the surface is obscured by heavy patination and encrustation. No legend is present in the field or on the periphery of this side. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Apollon facing, shown nude or lightly draped, holding a laurel branch in the right hand and resting the left hand upon a tall tripod or similar cult object at his side. The encircling ethnic legend ΘΥΑΤΕΙΡΗΝΩΝ is disposed in the field around the deity, though partially obscured by surface corrosion. The composition is typical of Hellenistic civic bronzes from Lydia, emphasizing the city's association with the cult of Apollon Tyrimnaios. |
