| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with raised cheek-guards and a prominent crest, rendered in the classical Athenian style. The portrait is positioned centrally within the flan, enclosed by a partial beaded border. The surface bears characteristic green patina consistent with ancient copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | Two owls of Athens standing facing, side by side, their heads turned frontally in the characteristic Athenian glaukos style, enclosed within an olive wreath. The ethnic abbreviation AΘE appears in the lower field beneath the owls. The composition closely echoes the iconography of the larger Athenian bronze issues of the late Classical and early Hellenistic periods. |
