| Obverse description | Diademed head of Alexander II Zabinas facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition. The diadem is tied at the back with visible ribbon ends. The facial features are modelled in low relief characteristic of late Seleucid bronze coinage. The portrait fills the central field with minimal border detail, consistent with the irregular flan typical of this denomination. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Dionysos facing left, clad in chiton and boots, holding a kantharos in his outstretched right hand and a thyrsos in his left. The royal legend is disposed vertically in two columns flanking the deity, with the Seleucid era date ΔΠΡ (year 184, corresponding to 129 BC) positioned within the field. The composition is characteristic of late Seleucid divine-type bronze issues associated with Alexander II Zabinas. |
