Beschrijving voorzijde Facing bust of Apollo rendered in the three-quarter view, set within a plain circular border. The deity is depicted youthful and unbearded, with flowing hair adorned with a laurel wreath, characteristic of early Seleucid royal iconography. The facial features are modelled in a Hellenistic style with soft, idealised contours. The field surrounding the effigy shows the irregular flan typical of hammered bronze coinage of the period. No legend appears on the obverse.

Beschrijving keerzijde Standing figure of Apollo Delphios rendered in the heroic nude, positioned facing left and leaning forward with both hands resting upon a tall tripod-lebes, the sacred tripod of Delphi. The figure is depicted in a dynamic contrapposto stance with drapery suggested at the lower body. The Greek royal legend is divided and arranged vertically in two columns flanking the central figure, reading ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the left and ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ to the right. The composition is characteristic of early Seleucid bronze coinage associating the dynasty with the Apolline cult.
